936089 - [e10s] Support copy to clipboard

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 966467

(Core :: Widget, defect)

Description

[Tim Abraldes [:TimAbraldes] [:tabraldes]]

Pasting seems to work properly, but I'm unable to copy to the clipboard when e10s is enabled. I tried to copy using "ctrl+c" and through the right-click context menu.

This seems to be working in my local build from m-c, but wasn't working in Aurora. I imagine that whatever fixed this issue will ride the trains

Let's keep this open for now. I don't know of anything that would have fixed the problem, and a number of other people have complained about copy being broken. Mark, would you mind testing with a recent build? I think it's a Windows-specific problem.

Actually I'm seeing this intermittently in my local build. It seems to be a timing or initialization issue at startup: Either copy-to-clipboard will work for an entire session or it will be broken for an entire session.

OK, thanks. No need to re-test this then.

Bill: copy/paste seems to WFM on OS X. Is there additional work necessary?

[Bill McCloskey [inactive unless it's an emergency] (:billm)]

Yeah, we need to test more operating systems and scenarios. Testing on Windows is one obvious thing. I've seen issues on Linux too, though.

Comment 7

[Tim Abraldes [:TimAbraldes] [:tabraldes]]

This does not work on Windows.

After selecting text and right-clicking, "copy" doesn't appear in the context menu.

If you ctrl+c selected content, nothing happens (subsequent pastes will not show the content you just tried to copy to the clipboard).

Not sure if this is intermittently working; I do recall that at some point "copy to clipboard" would intermittently work.

At our last e10s meeting, Bill said he could take a look at this bug.

Comment 9

[Bill McCloskey [inactive unless it's an emergency] (:billm)]

This should be fixed now.
