Either a selection bug or a CCP bug. Either way, it's yours to enjoy!

This is cross platform, happens on Linux (with my about-to-be-checked-in ostream
selection code) and Windows too.

Here's the stack trace on Linux:

Changes in the parsing system are causing the crash. RickG and I are looking
into it.

petersen, please verify with 03/15 build on Apprunner.  Thanks!
This bug is fixed on Windows. However, I'm not able to access the editor in the
Mac Build. Is there a way I can do this ?
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Using March 19th Build of Apprunner (Mac,Windows, Linux), copying text no longer
causes a crash.
