Thanks.
I think I see what is going on.
Please do F12 on this bug.
Each line will show a mouseover.
However only lines without triangles, no matter what direction pointed,
will have a right click context menu.
Careful examination shows that the mouseovers of the triangle lines are
not real URLs (with "http") but instead paths like "top/...".
So now the question is should users be allowed to copy those paths that
are shown to them? I say yes. So there should be a right click context
menu item established for them, "copy path".
Otherwise the users will have to painfully type in elsewhere what is sitting
on the screen right in front of their eyes.
Yes maybe they can get these strings from somewhere else, but there it is,
just as lengthy as the real URLs, and in exactly the same mouseover style, but
with no way to copy.

I believe that this one was fixed, at least I can "Copy link address" to get url for files.
Feel free to reopen this bug if it is still the problem.
