Shift + mouse-drag no longer copies text to the system clipboard in Terminal & SSH addon #3608

Yes, this is infuriating. It's very hard to discover that you have to place mouse outside the window (in fact has to be to the left) before releasing the mouse button. If not a bug this should at least be documented. |

Still an issue |

It is still an issue. I'm having the exact same behavior (not copying to the clipboard unless the cursor is outside the terminal window when the mouse button is released). |

Still does not behave as specified in the documentation. Please fix this as it makes the terminal much less useful. |

Still an issue that needs to be addressed. |

This is still a really irritating issue I have tested on Windows and Linux OS's, trying both Firefox and Chrome on both OS. |
Describe the issue you are experiencing
Copy text from the Terminal window using shift + mouse select no longer copies the selected text into the host system's clipboard.
It used to be possible to hold the shift key down while selecting text in the terminal window using the left mouse button, after the left mouse button was released, a scissor icon would briefly appear in the terminal window and the selected text would be in the client system's clipboard, ready to be pasted. As described in the documentation for the addon:
Now the scissor icon no longer appears, plus the system clipboard is left unaltered.
Client is Windows 10, Version 22H2 (OS build 1905, 4412).

I don't see anything relevant in the log (the killing was me trying anything).

Copy used to work before with older HA versions, but I'm not sure when it stopped working. I think it was one of the HA 2024.4.x or maybe 2024.3.x versions where I last successfully used it.
After much experimenting I found that the scissor icon still does appear and the text does get put onto the clipboard when at the moment the mouse button is released, the mouse cursor is outside the terminal window. i.e. if i position the mouse cursor after the text, press and hold shift, then drag over the text past the side the terminal window (= the mouse cursor moves outside the terminal window) and only there release the mouse button, the text does get copied.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
