Vers. 3.46 - Ctrl-c doesn't work not under Ubuntu nor under windows

[marco zabot]

When I try to copy text from e.g. plot, it doesn't work. Nothing is copied or pasted with ctrl-v if it's done on the main window.
It works on the book detail page.
This either under Ubuntu or Windows 10

What are you trying to paste into?

[marco zabot (marco-zabot)]

Wherever it doesn't work. Nor in the page itself nor in notepad (for instance). When trying to paste it always paste the last thing it has been copied with the last copy (right-click).

Sorry I meant what are you trying to copy?

[marco zabot (marco-zabot)]

Trying to copy the plot to paste into another program

[Kovid Goyal (kovid)]

What plot?

[marco zabot (marco-zabot)]

When you show "Dettagli del libro" (book details?) it shows also "Commenti" (plot?, comment?..) this is the area fromwhich I try to copy. It looks like it doesn't recognize the area selected and tries to copy the full page, i.e. sometime it pastes the firstvù line of the page (normally the author name)

[Kovid Goyal (kovid)]

I cannot replicate this, steps I tried:

1) Select the text in the comments area of the book details panel with
the mouse, right click and choose Copy

2) then open another application and choose paste.

3) All selected text is pasted.

THis is correct and it works also for me (as it did before). The problem is that ctrl-c doesn't work!

[Kovid Goyal (kovid)]

Ctrl-c is not going to work, book details never gets keyboard focus,as
otherwise it makes navigating the book list more confusing/difficult
with the keyboard. You have to select witht he mouse and right click to
copy. And I know the right click menu mentions Ctrl-C but that just
comes from the toolkit, and overriding it is rather painful.

That's make sense. Ok, I understand now why ctrl-c does't work.
Thank you for your time, I appreciated
