Description Christopher DeGuise 2003-12-13 17:26:04 UTC
Version:           3.0 Beta2 (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:          Linux

When viewing documentation within the IDX, cut/copy/paste are not available.  This makes it difficult when learning from the documentation, as you can not copy examples.

This is a duplicate of 58833.

This is not a dupe of that bug. The way I see it the user wants "copy" on the RMB menu.

And here is a workaround posted to the mailing list by Eike:


I have the same problem. There is a workaround:

-Mark the text that you want to copy with the mouse. 
-Change to the editor where you want to paste the text. 
-Left click on Klipper; and click on the copied text. (It already has 
a check mark)
-Paste the text in the editor.

I its not a KDevelop problem I think because it also happens with 
Konqueror and KOffice.

I'm using:
eike@nuxie:~> kdevelop --version
Qt: 3.1.1
KDE: 3.1.1
KDevelop: 3.0.0b2



PS: Eike in the future use the HTML form from bugzilla to reply to a bug.
Comment 3 Christopher DeGuise 2003-12-15 15:47:15 UTC
I had marked this issue as a duplicate, due to the fact that issue 53701 is
claimed to be a duplicate as well, which is in fact the same issue I had
reported

We can keep this one open though, as to not loose it, as I agree Bug 58833
does not clearly state the problem.

(I had replied to the list in error the first time)

Fixed in new documentation viewer.
