Description
On Linux, it is quite common not to copy and paste text using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, but instead to mark the text and press the middle mouse button to paste it. The URL field in the download box has some description text in it, which is marked when I click the field. Marking text usually copies it to the clipboard in Linux, so any URL I have copied to paste it there is overwritten. Thus I have to remove the description text, then re-copy the URL to paste it.
One solution would be to empty the URL text field when I click it. Alternatively, you could place the description text somewhere else outside of the text field.
Copy and Click into the field without clicking it before. The new text is added before after or inbetween the old one. The software will nevertheless detect it correctly.
