Weird behavior when copying URL

[intrepidity]

This is odd and never noticed it happening before, but also doesn't seem like it would be controlled on DU's end (?):

In android phone, when I touch the URL bar to try to copy the URL, it only highlights (and copies) the TLD; if I want the whole addy, I have to drag my finger along.

Usually, one tap highlights the whole thing. Is this a DU4 bug?

1. I'm pretty sure that's not a DU4 bug

I don't think there's a way that site code can alter browser behavior like that. Potentially there might be something about the formatting of the URL which could cause it -- say, a question mark character in the URL causes an issue with the browser's selection process, or something like that. But if that were the case, you would run into it on other sites because we're not doing anything unusual with our URLs. We're using the same characters as other sites all over the Internet.

Is it possible that this has occurred occasionally on other sites, but you only just happened to notice it now?

I'm not completely ruling this out as a DU4 bug by the way -- just saying that in this particular case, my gut feeling is that the issue lies elsewhere...

2. I hear you and that was my gut rxn too

But it's odd that it happened multiple times today and I only noticed it when I pasted the link and it only went up to the .com part.

Granted, it could be selection bias, since DU is usually where I'm copying URLs -- however, it *never* happened in DU before for me.

I'll investigate further and see if I notice any clues.
