Bug Description

This was working in v0.65 (Windows): After marking text in editor and Ctl-C, the clipboard remains empty. The editor that the text was pasted into receives meta data for HTML, but no text is actually input from clipboard. The bug detective (which springs open when the pluging Auto Completion is activated and crashes immediately, leaving a trace to be copied for debugging) renders the clipboard empty also.

The behaviour was noted immediately after updating to 0.66 with the Windows installer on my two Windows 10 64bit Home PC:s. There was no problem installing the unsigned binaries, however.

Same issue for me (Windows 7). Copy/Paste from Zim failed to any text editor.
Copy/Paste to Zim works.

Revert to 0.65 restore this feature.

This also affects the error window. I have a different "Looks like you found a bug" but am going to have trouble reporting it.

Zim 0.67 fixed this for me (Windows 7 x64), now I am able to copy from the Zim wiki.

v0.67 fixes this for me, too.

Possibly linked: In most software packages, double-clicking a test will select an entire word, and I can then drag to extend the selection to other words. I'm pretty sure that Zim used to work in the same way but v0.66 does not do this for me.
This problem, too, has disappeared after I updated to v0.67
