If you say so. I find the discussion on the BZ page hard to follow, as
it's not clear to me what exactly is the intended behaviour. If I paste
from the Chromium location bar into a random command line or text
editor, I'm certainly getting the URL and not the contents, which is as
I would expect. I still don't understand why anyone would want something
different in Evo unless explicitly pasting into the attachment area.

BTW I also get the full file when copying and pasting into Evo from
Dolphin or Nautilus, so maybe it's not a Chromium bug but a
Firefox/Konqueror/Epiphany bug. The only thing that's clear is that
there's disagreement about what the "correct" behaviour should be.
