Copying to the usual clipboard was probably intended by the author of the code under discussion. The selection clipboard is populated automatically (as in all other applications), even with that connection to QTextEdit::selectionChanged commented out (just tested). Kevin Funk commented on the first review of the feature - https://phabricator.kde.org/D5794: > Also note: Selecting the next, then pressing the middle mouse button already > does work. > This is not discoverable on other platforms than Linux though. We don't care much about and barely support non-GNU/Linux platforms nowadays. But selection clipboard may work only on X11, not Wayland (cannot verify because I don't use Wayland). If it turns out that selection *does* more or less work on Wayland, the feature (connection) could be removed or limited to Windows and macOS. Also just tested: with the connection commented out, Ctrl+C hides the navigation widget and copies text that is selected in the editor, not navigation widget. That is, if selection clipboard is unavailable, there is no way (that I can see) to copy text from the navigation widget. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
