TC7rc5 - Lister, HTML text, Copy URL, wrong URL copied

[white]

* View a HTML file (F3 View).
* Place the mouse cursor over a hyperlink and do not use the mouse anymore.
* Enable text cursor (F6) if not enabled yet.
* Move the text cursor to a hyperlink
* Press the context menu key
* Press "U" to copy the URL to clipboard.

The link at the mouse cursor is copied and not the link at the text cursor.


[edit]
Same thing happens for "Download target as" if this is available in the context menu.

The link at the mouse cursor is copied and not the link at the text cursor.

This is valid, I think...
Maybe one improvement can be here is showing context menu over the link which must be copied.

Confirmed!

Confirmed.
The same happens using the context menu via keyboard now (Shift-F10 or Win menu key).

Confirmed.
2) Although placing the mouse over a hyperlinks first results in activation of the browser to go for the URL.
Which I have to cancel, and is quite annoying. Can this behaviour be disabled ?

I've got simple stats-files with a hyperlink on every line, so tested further.
It came out to be even worse. If one repeats the procedure from 4) things get quite out of control ...
The second time the copied link was a random line in the list.
A few repeats further the context-menu only showed 'Copy all URLs' instead of the normal 3 items...

I can not confirm this behavior. Moving the cursor over a link without clicking does nothing (clean install).

I can not confirm this either. Note that when the window is scrolling the mouse cursor would be on something else!

BTW. There are no normal 3 items. The number of items depends on the kind of link. A relative link will have only two items.

Not really a big problem - TC copies the link for which the tooltip is shown, and doesn't offer the option if the mouse cursor isn't over any URL at all. Therefore it should be clear to the user what hotlink is copied. I will think about a solution for keyboard users after the release of TC7.

This only happens when you actually left click on the hotlink. To copy the URL, it's sufficient to right click on it.

I see. I didn't notice the connection with the tooltip.
So my remarks at 2) are nonsense. Now I tested it the right way.
