I presume that you mean "copying" via Ctrl+C and not the X11 way of simply highlighting the text. The latter is known to be broken in Chrome.
I filed a bug for it that which was wontfixed: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=27972 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=27972
- mbrubeck 17y agoYep, I can confirm that pasting http: URIs from the X11 "primary selection" is broken in the current Chromium nightly.
- losvedir 17y agoI'm glad that got wontfixed. It's not the convention at all in Windows or OS X. I can't stand applications that unexpectedly mess with my clipboard. Lotus Notes does this all the time and it drives me nuts. I make an attachment, and bam, my copied text is gone.
- Jach 17y agoBut fixing this wouldn't affect Windows or OS X, and middle-click pasting is the convention in Linux. I hate when I use Windows and inevitably realize yet again I can't do it. (Also, highlighted text sends to a different clipboard than ctrl+c.)
- nitrogen 17y agoI don't think anybody's ever got this quite right. It's especially frustrating working with Firefox and GNOME terminal. Firefox copies into both clipboards, GNOME terminal replaces the selection clipboard when I Visually select something in vim, then when I paste from what should've been in the selection clipboard, I get what I just deleted in vim. It seems the behavior wrt selection vs copy clipboard is inconsistent from desktop to desktop and version to version.
