When the option "Load images" is turned off, and the alt text is displayed in place of all images, this alt text should behave as if it were normal text; in particular, it should be possible to select (and copy & paste) it or parts of it.
Reporter: Can you provide the URL of a site which illustrates the problem?
Oh, sorry. I came across the problem when viewing my e-mail inbox on www.gmx.de. Naturally, I can't give you a direct URL to that ;-)
(In reply to comment #2) > Oh, sorry. I came across the problem when viewing my e-mail inbox on www.gmx.de. > Naturally, I can't give you a direct URL to that ;-) but if it's a general problem, then you should be able to provide a test case on another web page as well, right?
