I'll repeat it again: The problem occours when marking the text in the URL bar and pasting it in somewhere else with middle-click.
To test it, just mark an http url in the URL bar and check the output of 'xsel -o'. It will show exactly what was previously marked in the text field, which the URL fragment w/o the "http://" prefix. Anyways, I still dont see any valid reason why the the "http://" prefix is stripped off in the first place.
