621019 - Error Console does not permit clipboard copy of multiple items at once

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 67603

(DevTools :: General, defect)

Description

[:Atoll]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Error Console.
2. Go to some page that triggers a bunch of errors.  http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/sync/firstrun.html does that right now, but might be fixed someday.
3. Select a single error, select Edit -> Copy.
4. Switch to another application and Paste the clipboard to confirm that one error was copied correctly.
5. Select multiple errors.
BUG: This is not permitted via any means I was able to discover, including Edit -> Select All, Shift-clicking, and Command-clicking.

This issue interfered with another bug report I was filing, and it seems an oversight that the UI does not (yet) permit multiple item selection.

As a workaround you can install my extension Console² which does provide this functionality.
