Description
I've just upgraded to phpstorm 2025.2 and confirmed that this is still an issue using any version of continue afer 10.0.15, so 10.0.16 and up, including the latest 10.0.33. Downgrading to 10.0.15 solves the issue.
When using ctrl_j to put code into the Continue window, it cannot be copied from within the window, it just copies a blank newline. This is useful for copying out the conversation and all code context to use in a different LLM workflow for example.
To reproduce
- Use a jetbrains IDE
- Highlight code and hit ctrl+j to add it to the continue window
- Go to the continue window and try to select and copy any of the content in there OR press ctrl+a to highlight all and ctrl+c to copy, OR try to use right click->copy.
- All of these actions only copy a blank newline and none of the highlighted content
