Hi Dan,

Referring to this:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/abstractspoon-todolist-support/JiUMt7pBrFU/eSSWBxv4AQAJ

I can't find this functionality in 7.1.A6
Has it been moved or removed?

Thanks,
Ryan

Looks okay to me...

Found the reason:

If the link is too long and is wrapped to the next line the menu options 'Open Link' and 'Copy Link' are not available!

To reproduce:
Either use a long enough link/ some text before the linked that forced it to wrap to the next line,
or decrease the width of the comment section.

If you look at my screenshot above (wasn't previously visible) it works fine for me with multiline links.

Perhaps this is an XP/Linux issue only...

Ah, I see.
It might have to do with the way the word wrapping materializes on Linux?

As a workaround, turning WordWrap off brings back the menu entries - obviously, as the link is in one line again :)

Feel free to close if too much hassle to look into it respectively far too low on priority list.

Thanks for looking into it,
Ryan

Actually fixing stuff like this can be a lot of fun!

ps. Could related to the version of the richedit control on Linux, especially if it works okay on XP, which I will test later tonight.

I can confirm that there is no issue in XP, so it could be the Wine implementation of the richedit.

I will delve into the Wine source code...

WOW, Dan, very much appreciated!

I tested it under wine-1.8

Fixed and successfully tested in 7.1.B1

Thanks Dan!
