Here is the link to the story. http://archiveofourown.org/works/4670174
I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 64bit. I asked about this before. I have attached a screenshot about the possible cause. In the shot I'm dragging the link. |
The last time was in July. Is this something you're seeing a lot, or just once in a great while? Because what I said then still applies:

The drag and drop event object hands me data in a 'QByteArray' object. I don't know why Chrome on linux is (presumably) including the link text along with the URL, but that's what I speculate is happening.
If you bump into it a lot, I might look at it some more. But as it is, I'm inclined to call it an odd corner case and not worry about it.
