925340 - Typical "right click menu" options hidden in Network requests.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect)

Description

[Raymond Camden]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/30.0.1599.69 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I viewed a page that made XHR requests. In the Network tab, I selected that request and clicked Response. In the Response field I could see my JSON. I tried to select all and copy, but the right click menu is disabled. I was able to ctrl+a, ctrl+c, but some folks may assume they can't copy out responses. The right click menu should be enabled.


Actual results:

No right click menu.


Expected results:

"Typical" right click menu (select all, copy, cut, etc).

I would also like to add this small corollary:

Allow users to see the plain JSON view, instead of the fancy inspectable object. Sometimes, it helps understand the object better if I see it in plaintext instead of collapsed arrows...

regarding comment 1, there are a few bugs for it; bug 955933 and bug 1048705 and bug 1110813 for example.

A lot has been done since that time this bug was reported and I think this has been fixed.

Closing, but feel free to open a new bug if you see an issue, thanks!
