So because of the general limitations in the webbrowser-app, I use firefox as a backup (for videos and downloading files). I occasionally try to select copy, thinking that this will copy the link to a clipboard so that I can give the link to firefox for handling, only to find that there is no paste option in firefox! You must store the copied in the actual clipboard, not in the clipboard that you have created just for this app. This is a big difference for desktop integration.

* New rebuild forced.
[ Michael Terry ]
* Fix spelling of OK in private browsing dialog.
[ Olivier Tilloy ]
* Actually push URLs to the clipboard. For some reason setting the
"text/url-list" mime type doesn’t seem to work (or other
applications do not implement pasting this kind of data), but
"text/plain" works well enough for this purpose. (LP: #1463435)
* Do not honour fullscreen requests silently at the Ubuntu WebView
level. Instead delegate that behaviour to the webview implementation
used by the browser and the webapp container. (LP: #1464249)
* Toggle application-level fullscreen when pressing F11. (LP:
#1464333)

* Make the browser chrome usable on desktop by implementing common
keyboard shortcuts and behaviors that users normally expect in such
an app (LP: #1287361)
