[Live System User]

Hi,

        When clicking on "Copy Page URL" while viewing a webpage
        using eww, I got the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  string-match("\\`-+\\'" nil)
  menu-bar-update-yank-menu(nil nil)
  kill-new(nil)
  eww-copy-page-url()
  funcall-interactively(eww-copy-page-url)
  call-interactively(eww-copy-page-url nil nil)
  command-execute(eww-copy-page-url)


        Thanks.

You mean, this happens every time you click on that button, no matter
what page is being displayed?  If so, I cannot reproduce this.  I
tried with 3 random Web pages, and none of them exhibited the problem.

        It ordinarily works for me as well.  This particular time it
        didn't.

  The *Messages* buffer contains:

Contacting host: www.osboxes.org:443
nil
menu-bar-update-yank-menu: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
nil

Cannot reproduce the problem with that URL, either.

Can you reproduce this at will?
