IDE Output selection copy everything

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

While I was writing a topic about the problem I observed after the today (18/July/2023) package.
I selected few lines of the output to added to the topic and instead of copy only the selected lines, the IDE copied ALL output lines.

How to check:

  • if the select lines was on the same screen page, it works; but
  • if you scroll the output page the problem happen.

I am using IDE 2.1.1, running on windows 10 Pro.

Best regards,

Hi @CamargoF. Thanks for your report.

Please provide detailed instructions I can follow to reproduce the fault. I just did some experimentation and was not able to reproduce it so far, but that might be due to a misunderstanding of your report.

When you say "the output", are you referring to the contents of the "Output" view in the bottom panel of Arduino IDE:

... or are you referring to some other sort of output such as Serial Monitor?

That is the Output I comment.
How I did:

  1. Make the output screen as high as possible.
  2. Compile a large program, with many includes, to generate a long output text.
  3. Select few lines in the midle of output text, getting mote than one page.
  4. Copy the contents using CONTROL+C,
  5. Paste the data on notepad and you will see it is much larger than your selection.

Thanks. Unfortunately I have still not been able to reproduce the fault.

Do you find this is a required condition to reproduce the fault?

In your screenshot, it appears that the selection you made fits within a single page of the output.

Is it the entire text of the output, or only a subset of the total text?
