From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801 BuildID: 2001080110 I use a screen reader (because I am a slow reader) and I find it annoying that mozilla inserts the url of images, when not alt tag is pressent. I can't count the numer of times i've heared the text "<http://graphics.nytimes.com/images/misc/spacer.gif>" read to me. The workaround to copy the text to textpad and remove "<http:[^>]+>" is time consuming. (I like the Control+Click feature, for selecting a whole table cell, a lot) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Copy a text with an image with not alt tag. 2. Paste it in your favorite text-editor. 3. Behold the url of the image. Actual Results: The text is copied with the urls inserted Expected Results: Nothing sould be inserted when no alt-text is present for an image.
Valid request. Marking new since I couldn't find a dupe.

I was considering submitting an RFE about this, but it appears someone beat me to it. :-) I agree: this is annoying, and not at all expected (IMHO). Copying ALT tags makes sense, but URLs are pointless. Nothing should be copied instead.
