editor2 and copying links
i have a document, unsaved for temporary usage:
line 1 http://off.li/DLLXd
line 2 http://off.li/RLg2c
line 3 http://off.li/4GFQd
just links to some music tracks online.
right-clicking and choosing copy, on each link, would copy the whole line. sometimes copying doesn't work at all...
editor2 2.9.1.11 Unicode x64 (latest?)
regards,
osei

for me, it's reproducible. if i copy those 3 lines from above and paste them into a new editor2 document, that works.
right-click and choose copy on any line, and choose paste.
the 3 lines of text copied from the web browser are pasted again.

thanks

in order to copy, you have to click somewhere on the line of text, then right-click copy will copy the whole line of text.
if you just right-click on a link and choose copy, it does nothing (doesn't copy), and choosing paste will paste the previous contents of the clipboard, if any.
bug? but maybe as you intended

Call me conservative, but don't people highlight the text they want anymore before copying it? I thought that was requisite. Or is that an outdated paradigm in your new touchy-feely world?
(Yes, I realise ed2 employs this weird system of which you speak - and it works for me as well with your pirated links to dodgy musical tastes - but it's a kooky thing to rely upon. I like highlighting, and highlighting likes me - it's the only system I trust. )

Conservative.
Trust you to go that step further with the links only you...
I understand it's a text editor but imagine this situation in a web browser where you wished to copy a link and had to click in the line of the link before copying it. I guess the behaviour I'm used to/looking for is that of a web browser, there you can right-click on any link, anywhere in the document, and choose copy. There is something slightly dodgy with this copy procedure though in editor2 though.
Thanks for checking it out.

I've also found this behavior to be unsatisfactory for the same reasons Profess mentions:
The change seems simple enough. Where's the beef?

- Clicking in text produces no action (e.g. opening the link in a browser window) other than setting focus at that point in the text.
- Clicking a link opens the link - and potentially causes problems
