Potential select/copy bug

Post by davenz »

Hi guys. It has been a very quiet board lately, it must mean everyone is happy with WeBuilder and the others!

I almost hate to break the trend, however I discovered this bug while reading up on HTML 5 and especially the so-called HTML5 Shim that has been created to help Internet Explorer render HTML5 pages properly. While attempting to copy the link inside the html code to download and see what this file is all about, I discovered I cannot select the text with my mouse, then right-click on it and copy it. The line is highlighted OK, but when I right-click, everything highlighted drops away leaving on the area/word/group of text my mouse pointer is sitting on. Selecting and copying 'normal' text within P tags, for example, is fine and works as expected, it is only within the following code I cannot select and copy properly.:

Code: Select all

  <!--[if IE]>
  <script src=ā€¯http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.jsā€¯></script>
  <![endif]-->
To try and replicate what I am seeing, paste the above code into the head of your document and try to select the text (by wiping, double or triple clicking) and then right click as if you were going to select a context menu item. On my setup the selection drops off leaving only what is immediately under my mouse pointer selected. Interestingly, depending on what I select, it works or not. Small sections of the link between the quotes can be selected and right-clicked on without issue, yet others the bug shows up. Weird.

I can select and Control + C to copy, so it isn't like this bug is a show-stopper, but it does point to something weird going on with the editor and in the quest for perfection, I am sure the devs would like to know about every little quirk found, regardless of severity.

I am using WeBuilder 10.2.0.121 on a 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate box.

Hi,

Can't replicate the problem with the right-click here on my setup.
I can select all or any of the text, right-click & the menu is shown & the text is still selected.
I can choose copy & then paste it somewhere else in the document.
