Interesting right-click copy behavior.
-
I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior. I was viewing a web page with some commands on it. I highlighted a line of the text and everytime time I right-clicked to select copy, the highlighting dropped and the copy did nothing.
On a hunch, I launched Chromium, loaded the same webpage, and tried again and it worked. So clearly something is working (or not) differently.
Here's the webpage url: http://linuxbsdos.com/2017/02/18/how-to-install-iridium-browser-on-ubuntu-16-10-linux-mint-18-1/
The text in question is the commands in the black box (it's supposed to look like a terminal window - cute right?).
I'd be interested to know if anyone else sees the same results or not.

Confirmed also under windows,
only way is using keyboard shortcut to copy (ctrl-c or ctrl-ins)
There's a javascript blocking the context menu apparently, disabling js on the site allows using the context menu. -
@iAN-CooG OK, thanks for checking it out. So my Chromium is behaving differently - javascript rules are different or???
-
Oh - I re-read. That javascript is already disabled on my Chromium. Interesting...
-
Hmm, disabling the javascript in Vivaldi on that page changed nothing for me here.

@dLeon LOL

Reloading was what I needed. I should have known that - what we call in my business "first day stuff"
Thanks all - it works as expected now. I appreciate all the replies - even the ammo reference...

@SKSmith
Works fine with me. Using Vivaldi 1.8.770.54 64 bit on Debian Testing MATE. -
