Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200804100004) Java: 1.6.0_03; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_03-b05 System: Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_AU (nb) There are no expections but it's not possible to select text and hence copy text to the clipboard. This is quite frustrating when developping, I used to copy-pasted from the Autotest window all the time ;-) Right clicking in the windows shows a "COpy menu" which does not work
Can you still reproduce this with the latest build (http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyInstallation#section-RubyInstallation- HowDoIGetTheContinuousBuilds)? Seems to work for me on Linux. Note that there is an issue in the output window that sometimes the selected text is not painted (i.e. the selection area is not visible), but copying should still work. This shouldn't happen too often too, I'll see if I can find the issue number for that.
This has been fixed in latest build
