Comment:

 The behavior of the "Press This" link is still a little off, particularly
 in Chrome. I wouldn't normally re-open a closed ticket this late, but I
 think in this case it warrants another look-see.

 So the description says:

 {{{
 Drag-and-drop the following link to your bookmarks bar or right click it
 and add it to your favorites for a posting shortcut.
 }}}

 ...yet when I right-click in Chrome, it either highlights the text in the
 span (because I right-clicked the span) or returns false and acts like I
 right-clicked the body (because it's returning false on-click. There's
 effectively no URL to add to the bookmarks bar.

 Further more, if I opted to hide the bookmarks-bar in Chrome I have no
 where to drag the link to. If I drag it to the tab-bar, it opens a new
 empty tab which immediately pops open the JS window, without ever giving
 me the chance to bookmark it.

 I'm attaching a patch (which is by no means elegant) that puts the URL
 string in a prompt() that appears onclick. This needs core-dev and UX
 feedback. Even if my solution isn't the end-all, I think this might need
 more attention.
