found this using 2001.03.27.08 comm bits [linux]. recipe [follow these steps exactly!]: 1. open a new document in composer. 2. add a link [using Link Editor] in this doc to another file which is in the same directory --and make sure the link is *relative*. eg, "this is a <a href="blah.html">relative link</a>". 3. save the doc. 4. close the doc [exit composer]. 5. reopen the doc in composer. 6. select the line containing the link via shift+end. 7. copy line via ctrl+C. 8. hit enter to go to another line, then paste via ctrl+V. 9. place cursor in the link of the pasted text. 10. click Link Editor button. result: the URL in the Link Location textfield is absolute, instead of relative. instead of seeing "blah.html" i see "file:///u/sairuh/Tests/blah.html".

This is a problem for image URLs as well as links. Duping to bug 72583 and I'll expand that bug's scope. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 72583 ***

Actually, this is a duplicate of #32768; reopening to make appropriate duplicate. Bug 72583 is still a separate, valid bug and should have a wider scope.
