Bug#233999: acknowledged by developer (Double-clicking a url in mozilla opens the Actions menu in klipper)



Hi,

Debian Bug Tracking System wrote:

When I double-click a URL in the URL-bar in mozilla (currently
mozilla-1.6) I get the Actions menu of klipper pop-up, thus not
allowing me to replace the text in the URL bar.


I've found that adding Gecko to the Configure|Actions|Advanced
(Disable Actions for Windows of Type WM_CLASS) fixes this.


My system has been freshly installed, so I guess many people will
face
this problem, even when installing for the first time.

Hi,

Thanks for the bug report.

However, you seem to be wrong: on my system ( current unstable,
mozilla version 1.6-1 ), the mozilla window defines 'WM_CLASS(STRING)
= "mozilla-bin", "Mozilla-bin"'.  You can check this yourself with the
xprop program.  Klipper has these properly in its ignore list, and
adding gecko would be non-sense.

I agree with everything you say! On my system too, I have both "mozilla-bin" and "Mozilla-bin" set up as "Disable Actions", yet this doesn't work :-( When I remove "Gecko" from the list, the pop-up returns when double-clicking the url in mozilla 1.6-1. Returning Gecko to that list stops the pop-up. I can't explain it (I don't know X).

Since then I've been experimenting with mozilla-firefox (now that it's arrived) and mozilla-thunderbird, and I've noticed they both use the Gecko WM_CLASS. . . perhaps mozilla are migrating to Gecko as their WM_CLASS?

I must also add a thank you for helping make Debian the easiest and most reliable distribution to use. Beats the redhat-based ones hands down!

Thanks,

Wasim.
