2020-09-25 14:57:33 barro350 description Reference: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=333434 Platform: Windows 10 Calibre Version: v5.0.1 # 'Copy to Clipboard' button in the toolbar does not copy selected text ## Steps for reproduction 1. Open an ePub file. 2. Activate a toolbar in the left side of the Calibre viewer. (Preferences -> Miscellaneous -> Show a toolbar with the most useful actions) 3. Select a text segment and click the 'Copy to Clipboard' button in the toolbar. ## Expected behavior (the behavior in v4.23) The text segment is copied to clipboard in various formats (including HTML). ## Actual behavior (the behavior in v5) Nothing happens. It doesn't copy anything, even as a plain text. I tried turning off Windows Security protection feature and Firewall, but it doesn't help. ## Related behavior Until v4.23, pressing `Ctrl+C` after selecting text used to copy the content to the clipboard in both the plain text and the HTML format. (See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=333434, post #1) In v5.0, `Ctrl+C` copies the content only in the plain-text format; all the HTML formatting is lost.
