how do you copy/paste a 16x16 pixel image + half of the URL?

and how do you tell when to copy it? If I wanted to avoid the load-balanced subdomain in a url: www35.company.com/bar/foo.aspx and just copied: company.com/bar/foo.aspx Would the http:// come over? how about if I just copied "bar/foo.aspx" ?

Nope. The http:// only comes when its all selected.

But the scheme is still shown for https.

Not consistently. This is a critical part of URLs. Not displaying it is like not displaying zip codes in US addresses (I recently lived at an address that differed from a nearby address in zip code only. We were constantly returning misdirected mail to each other.).

It (https) is displayed consistently in Chrome's address bar though. I agree that the scheme is a critical part of a url. The question is whether a real url must always be shown in the address bar.

Copy-pasting includes the scheme (mostly, there's a couple bugs at the moment). Better to read up on the issue before commenting about how it's supposedly broken.

I didn't say it was broken, but that the change increases the possibility of errors. Look at the other links provided in this thread to see why this is so. I stand by my statement, which I made after reading up on the issue.

Editing your post and claiming you never said the original comment is pretty shady.
