copy url includes http
Why does Mac copy the entire URL from http:// to where I select.
I know they've decided to 'hide' the http part now...
Yet they've not made Safari intelligent enough to know I was just selecting, not (wait for it) one click select all copy (ok paste entire url with http...)?
If I did a 1 click 'select all' and then copy, I expect to get it all, including http
But... if I click, wait click again to deselect all, then click drag over the domain the http gets included into the copy memory.
Not the rest of the url of course...
So logically, the UI should only copy the text I select, it only half completes my logical conclusion about copy/paste, that I copy what I select and can repaste this.
The outcome of this behaviour change is that:
1. copy paste from Safari doe not logicall follow basic UI expectations built up over many years
2. Hides the fact that the problem will occur, ie. http:// appears in all pasting after a manual select
3. That a single click selects all, which is the reverse behaviour of select all, from a Mac users perspective
4. That I am doing more work to copy paste snippets of text in an area of OS X than I have had to in the past.
5. That is it so annoying, as to push me to write a time wasting documentation of the entire thing here...
I'd offer to test the browser for them again, but you know, if Henry Ford asked the customer what they wanted, they'd have answered 'a faster horse' (or something).
If anyone can help me customise my Safari to behave in a logical way again, do please comment...
Many thanks, enjoy your Mac Week.
