Description Gavin Sherlock 2008-03-13 23:38:18 PDT
Steps to reproduce:

1.  Go to any page with a form field in which there is a url (e.g. http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17773)

2.  Select URL (in this case in the URL field), and right click

Expected results:

Contextual menu should have options to go to that url, go to it in a new window, or go to it in a new tab.

Actual results.  Those menu options do not exist.  They do exist if you select a url on the page that is not in a form field.

Tested in release Safari and r31030 on 10.5.2

The report covers issue in Safari UI, not Webkit engine issue: http://webkit.org/blog/101/back-to-basics/ 

So the issue should be reported directly to Safari developers: http://bugreport.apple.com. This bug report is invalid. We are unable to fix the reported problem.

I was ambiguous in the report.  When I said "URL Field", I was not referring to the browser's URL field, but to bugzilla's URL field, the text box that appears on all bugzilla's reports, containing  the URL to which the bug refers, such as would be encoded by the following html:

<input name="bug_file_loc" accesskey="u" value="http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17773" size="60"> 

Selecting the url in this form field is to what I was referring.

Based on looking at:

http://webkit.org/blog/101/back-to-basics/

this seems to me to be webkit, not chrome, unless chrome includes all contextual menus (and if so, that page should be changed to indicate it).
