Description ulfzibis 2010-05-07 17:47:44 UTC

[ BUILD # : 201005050200 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.* ]

If nothing is selected in editor text area, context-menu->Copy should copy the
whole file to clipboard, to paste it to a node in the project/file/favourites
browser.
(otherwise, "Copy" should be disabled)
Additionally there should be a "Copy" item in the editor tab menu.

Comment 1 ulfzibis 2010-05-11 15:56:11 UTC

Enabled "copy" item in the context menu is a defect, if there is nothing to copy.
So disable it, or interpret is as "copy the whole file".

Comment 2 Vitezslav Stejskal 2010-05-11 16:20:22 UTC

It copies the current line (ie. the line where the caret stands).

> It copies the current line (ie. the line where the caret stands).

Maybe the label then should be changed to "Copy Line".

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
