Bug 175977 – [GTK] Inspector's "Copy Link Address" option from context menu doesn't work for an element's attribute

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Andres Gomez Garcia]

I'm using WebKitGtk+ with my own JHBuild setting:
https://github.com/tanty/jhbuild-epiphany/tree/master

WebKit 2.17.91.

The compilation was done with CMake args:

'-DDEBUG_FISSION=OFF -DPORT=GTK -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_MINIBROWSER=ON -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE="-O0 -g -DNDEBUG -DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE="-O0 -g -DNDEBUG -DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS"'

1. Visit: https://www.instagram.com/floretflower/
2. Click on one of the images
3. Select from the context menu on top of the image: "Inspect Element".
4. Expand the "div" above the selected HTML div tag.
5. Use the context menu to try to "Copy Link Address" on the link in the "src" attribute.

EXPECTED:

The link gets copied to the clipboard.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:

The link DOESN'T get copied to the clipboard.

This bug is not reproducible with WebKit 2.17.5.

Confirmed with MiniBrowser and Epiphany.

Most probably, it also happens with other of the "Copy ..." options of the context menu.

I meant WebKit 2.17.4.

This seems to be working again in WebKitGTK+ 2.18.0.
