Title:
  URL-related menu items don't appear if pointer is on bottom pixel of
  URL

Status in Gnome Virtual Terminal Emulator:
  Expired
Status in vte package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  Ubuntu 8.04, gnome-terminal 2.22.1-0ubuntu2.

  Take a URL in a gnome-terminal, the pointer can be moved over it, the
  URL is underlined, and mouse button 3 will bring up a context menu with
  Open Link, etc.

  However, if that same URL is approached from below, a pixel at a time,
  and the pointer stops moving when the underline appears, and then button
  3 is pressed, the context menu is lacking the URL related items.  This
  is despite the visual feedback of the URL being underlined.

  Similarly, if the URL is approached from above, moving the pointer down
  a pixel at a time until the underline appears, and then the pointer is
  move back up a pixel so the underline goes, the context menu *contains*
  the URL related items even though the visual feedback said it shouldn't
  because of the lack of underlining.

  It seems the coordinates used to determine when to underline are one-off
  from the calculation of when the context menu should contain URL-related
  items.  There's also a one-off error left/right as opposed up/down.

  I found this because I got fed up of having an underlined URL yet the
  menu not containing Open Link.  I was sure I hadn't moved the mouse in
  the meantime, and I hadn't;  I was just on the bottom row for pixels for
  the URL.  So it's not theoretical but bites in real life.
