1662100 - Copy/Paste doesn't work on Azure SSH

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Marcin J.]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0

Steps to reproduce:

Azure allows you to SSH into an Azure Function. You get a SSH session to the VM in a browser. I noticed that on Firefox I am not able to copy/paste into that SSH session. I am able to do that while using Chrome and other Chromium browsers. I am able (in Chrome) to paste with Ctrl+Shift+V. In Firefox it does not work with any shortcut.

Actual results:

Firefox does not have option to paste. Also, right-mouse-click does not have any copy/paste options.

Expected results:

Firefox should allow to use Copy/Paste on Azure's SSH sessions. Without that, the browser is not usable in such work scenario.

Setting a component for this issue in order to get the dev team involved.
If you feel it's an incorrect one please feel free to change it to a more appropriate one.

Hey Karl, is this a known issue or something your team can look into? Thanks!

I wonder if it's similar to https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/28901#issuecomment-483377584
or one of the numerous execCommand issues. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=execCommand&list_id=15406235

Also I see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/using-the-shell-window#copy-and-paste

Copy and paste

Windows: Ctrl-c to copy is supported but use Shift-insert to paste.
FireFox/IE may not support clipboard permissions properly.

Mac OS: Cmd-c to copy and Cmd-v to paste.

Marcin, does shift-insert work?

If it's a permission issue that would be Bug 1272296

Mirko, as your clipboard API work progresses, it would be good to find out what this is about.
