STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any report
2. Press Copy button
3. Copy button color changes when pressed, but nothing is copied

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing is copied

EXPECTED RESULT
Full report should be copied to clipboard, with formatting

This also works with the current version.

> Nothing is copied.

This is normal behavior, as nothing has been selected, which is a prerequisite for copying text.

> The entire report should be copied to the clipboard with formatting.

This raises the question of what type of formatting should be copied, as there are many possibilities. Alternatively, the report can be saved as a CVS, HTML, or xml file using “Export Report.” This allows for further processing without the need to add a special copy function without prior selection. If there are specific use cases for this, please specify in more detail.
