Problem not copying text in the log message winbox
1 Like
Hi and welcome.
You may want to explain in a LOT more detail what the problem actually is.
- What are you trying to do ? Where ?
- What happens (or not) and what did you expect ?
- What device are you using ?
- What ROS version ?
Hello
I have the same issue, since downloading the newest available version (3.43).
Until the last version, the content of the Message box could selected and copied. In the new version it cannot be done - which would be important in order to copy IP addresses, messages, etc.
The texts in the other fields in the window (time, buffer, stb) can be select and copy
Please fix this issue.
Thanks
Extract from my device:
Winbox 3.43 towards RB5009 running 7.19.3
AA:BB:CC:44:BB:0F@cap-wifi13(DISTRIMAGAZIJN) roamed to AA:BB:CC:44:BB:0F@cap-wifi2(DISTRIMAGAZIJN), signal strength -66
Ergo: copy-paste works for me.
So still ... more info needed.
What device does the problem occur with ?
What ROS version is it running ?
Just right click and copy works for me:
Thanks. I tried and this way works.
But would be good to return to the previous way - in most cases we need only a part from the whole text - for example an IP address or MAC address.
I do not understand the logic why cannot be select only that box - and can be in the upper ones.
My example was using CTRL-C, CTRL-V.
So it works. For me.
The issue that confuses people is that there is no highlighting for selected text. Copying parts of text works fine, but you have to do it blind :>
That's something entirely else !
But yes, there is indeed no highlighting visible, tested on RB5009 with 7.21b2.
However, on other RB5009 running 7.19.3 however it DOES show.
Both using latest Winbox.
So the issue was not only badly described, it also depends on ROS version.
It started with 7.20 since that is when they changed element used for log rendering from single-line to multi-line.
