The guy is clicking the link to get a highlight...
... which is a new feature introduced in my patches last week and not in mainline...
... so this wasn't the first time he clicked on line-number links in the Dark Timeline where this patch was accepted...
... so a little animation of a clipboard icon fading out would be enough to have taught him highlight = clipboard now.
