           Summary: QWebPage::CopyLinkToClipboard action doesn't copy url to
                    QClipboard::Selection
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Qt
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ben at meyerhome.net


What steps will reproduce the problem?
0. Using Arora or the demo browser
1. Find yourself a link, right click on it and select Copy Link Location
2. Try to paste it with middle click in e.g. xterm

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output: link pasted in xterm.
Instead: previous selection is pasted.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Arora 0.4 (Change: 342 48995a0) on ArchLinux

Please provide any additional information below.
I guess this happens because link is only being copied to
QClipboard::Clipboard.  You can still paste the link with Ctrl+V.  See
http://standards.freedesktop.org/clipboards-spec/clipboards-latest.txt

QWebView::pageAction(QWebPage::CopyLinkToClipboard)->trigger(); is the action
that is being called.  Testing with FireFox and Konq they both copy it to
QClipboard::Selection
