This message shouldn't be removed, it is just misleading. The error appears when either no valid URL, or no entry at all is in the clipboard. Therefore it shouldn't be removed, but changed to something that explains why exactly using the 'load website from clipboard' feature didn't work.
Means: it is a usability issue, but not exactly a bug, since the error message is technical right..... a normal string, for example, is not a support protocol -> restoring expected behaviour. Maybe someone could push this upstream? ** Description changed: Binary package hint: konqueror-kde4 To reproduce: - Open a webpage - Middle-click the tab - Observe the error-dialog stating: "Protocol not supported" - Expected behavior is that no error message appears what so ever. + Expected behaviour is that an error message does appear, to explain that + the clipboard is empty, so one knows why the middle click isn't working. + Maybe even check whether the item in the clipboard is a URL at all, and + output an appropriate error message if it isn't. ** Summary changed: - [KDE 4] Can't close tabs by middle-clicking + [KDE 4] Useless error message for 'load from clipboard' feature in konqueror ** Description changed: Binary package hint: konqueror-kde4 To reproduce: - Open a webpage - Middle-click the tab - Observe the error-dialog stating: "Protocol not supported" + Note: this only happens if either the clipboard content is no URL, or if + it is empty. + Expected behaviour is that an error message does appear, to explain that the clipboard is empty, so one knows why the middle click isn't working.
