Description Brion Vibber 2012-06-28 17:40:05 UTC 
When copy-pasting from the VisualEditor into LibreOffice 3 (tested 3.5.2.2 on Ubuntu 12.04), links are copied with the target URL of the wiki page being edited plus "#" on the end, eg <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor:Welcome#>

This doesn't happen when copy-pasting from the view mode.

See also bug 33239 comment 6 -- if we retain the original href and use JavaScript to suppress regular clicking, I think this would lead to more natural cut-n-paste behavior with other apps.
Comment 1 James Forrester 2012-06-29 00:42:03 UTC 
Add see-also to bug 33105 which wants rich copy-and-paste - this is distinct but related.
Comment 2 Roan Kattouw 2012-11-11 01:25:20 UTC 
This is a bit better now, but not quite there yet. External links now point to the correct destination, but internal links don't, they just contain the name of the page in the href.
Comment 3 James Forrester 2013-02-25 23:14:27 UTC 
This is now fully correct; closing as fixed.
