Summary:	Fancy does not "copy" properly

Description Abhay S. Kushwaha 2012-12-04 15:58:14 UTC

The right-click-to-copy-a-link function in Fancy is different from the right-click-to-copy-a-link function of text display.

I run a virtual box and when I copy a link using the latter, it gets copied into the clipboard which is then picked up by the VM and is then available to me in my host OS. However, when I copy a link in Fancy, it shows up in the clipboard within the virtual OS but is not picked up by the VM. If I simply copy the link into a text box of something and then copy it again, it works!

Could the Fancy plug-in please be enhanced to use the same copy function as the text-rendered-as-link version so that the copy-paste works better.

Actually, the way I see it is that "Copy this Link" in CM copies to both the clipboard and the copy buffer, while Fancy's "Copy Link" only copies to the copy buffer, not to the clipboard.  The workaround for VBox is to use Paste instead of a mouse click.
