Thread: v1.14 beta1: Ctrl-C does not copy selected text inside a textbox in the edit grid

Aloha!

Testing pgAdmin v1.14 beta1 on Win XP Home

Concerning ..
 > 2010-08-30 GL 1.14.0 Allow the use of Ctrl-V inside a textbox of
frmEditGrid. Patch from Steffen Kuhn.

Ctrl-V now works fine to paste text.
If I select part of the text (in edit mode) and use "Copy" from the
context menu, the selected text is copied. As expected.

However, if I press Ctrl-C, the whole text is copied instead of the
selection. This should copy the selected text as well.
The problem has been there in previous versions.

Erwin

Works for me on Linux. And I don't see anything in the code that would
make it a Windows only bug. Are you sure?

Yes, I am sure. The bug has been there for a while. I had hoped v1.14
would have fixed it ...
Probably a Windows only bug.

A detail that might help: when copying with Ctrl-C the _original_ state
of the textbox is copied.
Example:
A text field reads "dummy text".
I enter edit mode and change it to "11dummy11 22text22"
Then I select any part of the text and press Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V: "dummy
text" is inserted - the original text of the field before entering edit
mode.
BTW, pasting via context-menu does exactly the same as Ctrl-V. Only
Ctrl-C deviates.

The bug is still there in v1.14.0 RC1. I have created a ticket.
http://code.pgadmin.org/trac/ticket/337

It can be a pain, because Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V are probably the most frequently used key combinations of all.
