Description Jiri Skrivanek 2001-10-04 09:36:29 UTC 
In my opinion it would be better if "Copy to Clipboard" action copies the whole
content of the Output Window as in previous releases.
Then seems to me reasonable to add "Copy Slelected to Clipboard" menu item.
Comment 1 akemr 2001-10-09 07:59:03 UTC 
I implemented standard (context sensitive) Copy action in OW now, so 
it looks like I can remove old "Copy to Clipboard" from popup menu.

I'm not sure about "Copy of whole content"..

What about "Select All"?
Or there is already possible to redirect output to file..
Comment 2 Jiri Skrivanek 2001-10-09 08:15:49 UTC 
I would prefer to have a chance to grab whole content of OW.
Redirection works only forward, not backward. Imagine, I am developing
something and a bunch of exceptions was printed into OW during a test
run. I want to save it. Too late to redirect to file, so I would
select all and copy content somewhere.
So, I like both Select All/Copy and Copy All. It is up to you to
decide which one fits better. But I definitely vote for this feature.
Comment 3 akemr 2001-11-02 07:54:03 UTC 
Fixed in main trunk.

There are Select All and Copy menu items now.
