Only if you copy the entire link. If you try and extract a subsection like a directory, by either dragging across, or by shift unselect, it will not copy the 'http://.

A fringe case? Maybe, but I've already run into this pain a few times jumping back and forth from chrome to emacs.

Have you submitted it as a bug? It's the dev track people! Why are you expecting it to be perfect already?

Furthermore, select, right-click, "copy" uses a different clipboard from select (the latter is what other X11 software uses and the "http:// is never put there).
