Copy to Clipboard doesn't work in several circumstances

~~When I left-click on a line and then copy it by the context menu, the clipboard is empty. When I do not left-click on a line and directly copy it by the context menu, it works.~~

When I click twice on a line and copy it by CTRL + C, the clipboard is empty. When I click once on a line and copy it by CTRL + C, it works.

The log says:

This is getting weird. Update for 0.7.0.:

Copy to clipboard now behaves really strange (but different to the first mentioned, so I struck it in the original issue).

Immediately right click on one line, copy to clipboard is fine. Now right click a second line and copy it to clipboard, the clipboard now has the formerly clicked line and the new line in clipboard. This continues until you left click a line. This seems to clear the selection.

The CTRL + C bug is still there.

This one should be so easy for me to fix but it has proved to be surprisingly difficult as data is virtualized and I need to manually track off screen selections. Plus there is a problem with the built in view window which gives strange selection behaviour when a selected item scrolls off view. Trying to manage that messes up user selection.

It seems that each time I fix one of the problems another occurs.

I think I need the scrap the selection code and start from scratch.

I suffer this bug on the last version of the application :( When doing a double click to select the line, then unable to copy!

PS: I could also be great to be able to select part of the text line and be able to copy just that...

To me, the clipboard handling is one of the most problematic issues of this application.

Outside the issues mentioned above, there is also an issue with copying more lines than can be displayed in a single screen. Basically, it does not work – but it is very annoying for example when you want to copy long stack traces. For the moment you need to copy screen by screen, but you are then quite likely to trigger other copying issues.

I am also experiencing this issue on version 0.9.0
