Search impact on copy paste
Describe the problem: When search (CtrlShiftF) is open, clicking on the shell will copy the search keyword. Even when it's emptied.
To Reproduce: Open search window Type some text to search bar (if it's big enough, looks like it graphically overlaps with standard buttons) Click on the shell (not selecting) Paste ** Expected result: -> whatever was in clipboard should be pasted ** unexpected result: -> the search keyword is pasted Empty the search keyword Click on the shell (not selecting) Paste ** Expected result: -> whatever was in clipboard should be pasted ** unexpected result: -> the word "direct" is pasted
Hi @gitthangbaby,
It looks very similar to an old issue that should be fixed now. Which version do you use?
Hi @gitthangbaby,
Which version do you use?
It's 1.0.201.
Here the Win+V clipboard history shows how "direct" is inserted into clipboard everytime I come back to a session and copy something. Before each paste, I have to recall the previous item from history:
Visually, can't press those 3 search buttons, because there are window buttons:
The same question. My version is 1.0.197, when I paste secondly, the word is the search keyword.
I wasnt able to reproduce this :/
Did the Copy on Select option is enabled ? If so, could you disable it and try to reproduce this issue again ?
On my side, can't reproduce with Copy on Select off because it's part of the steps to reproduce.
I thought running mc helps (lot of issues arise from that https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby/issues/8884#issuecomment-1754861840) to reproduce, but not needed in this case: better use a search keyword that is found on the screen. Like @mysterin said, double click a text, and right click twice. Second paste is the search string.
update: incredible but today Tabby was inserting the last searchword to my clipboard all day, replacing the copied record with its searchword. And today I didn't even use Tabby. The whole Windows-V history is full of reinserted searchword.
Visually, can't press those 3 search buttons, because there are window buttons:
visual overlap issue can be 'fixed' by moving the tab location to the top (Settings\Window\Tabs). the functional issue is reproduced from 197 to 207 on Windows & Linux. Can be mitigated by turning off Copy on Select (Terminal\Clipboard).
