All tabs copied by default, even when only some are selected

Open Gitoffthelawn opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Short description

When the user has selected multiple tabs, the extension, by default, will copy all tabs (not just the selected ones).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start Firefox with clean profile.
  2. Install the extension.
  3. Open 4+ tabs.
  4. Select 3 of the tabs.
  5. Use the extension to copy the tabs to the clipboard.

Expected result

Only copy the selected tabs, by default.

Actual result

All tabs are copied.

Environment

  • Platform (OS): Platform-independent issue
  • Version of Firefox: 101.0.1 (hey, it's a palindrome!)
  • Version (or revision) of extension: v1.4.5

Notes

Perhaps have an option in which the user can toggle this behaviour.

I cannot reproduce this with:

  • Windows 10
  • Nightly 106.a1
  • Copy Selected Tabs to Clipboard v1.4.5

Steps I did:

  1. Start Nightly with clean profile.
  2. Install Copy Selected Tabs to Clipboard.
  3. Open five tabs.
  4. Click the first tab in the horizontal tab bar (Firefox's native tab bar).
  5. Ctrl-click two other tabs in the horizontal tab bar.
  6. Right-click on a highlighted tab.
  7. Choose "Copy to Clipboard" => URL.
  8. Go to a text editor and paste it. Three URLs are pasted as I expected.

Is there any other condition? If there is any missing step or wrong step, please add more comments.

Thanks for your feedback.

The issue is still definitely present for me in FF v104.0.2 with extension v1.4.5.

I've added this to my schedule to look into this further. I'm hoping to have at least a half hour to spend on it ~~this week~~ soon.

Thanks again.

I haven't forgotten about you! Just minimal free time. Still hoping to get to this very soon.
