Is the "Select all" link failing?

#1 Post by Aacini » 11 Aug 2017 07:24

Recently, I had have problems using the "Select all" blue link located in the header of code segments, like the one below:

Code: Select all

The "Select all" located in the line above

When I press it the code segment is selected, but if I press Ctrl-C to copy it as usual nothing is copied to the clipboard (that keeps its previous contents). However, if I manually select all the code, the Ctrl-C works fine...

Anybody have similar problems?

Yes Antonio. Recently I tried it at home and it didn't work (Win10, Chrome).
Right now I tried it at work (Win7). It also fails using Chrome but works with Internet Explorer.

I don't know if this is a malfunction of the forum software or rather a problem of the Chrome browser.

EDIT
FWIW It works via right clicking on the marked text and chosing Copy.

FWEIW, Ctrl-c updated the clipboard for me using Win7Pro-Firefox and Win10Home-Firefox but not on Win10Pro-Chrome.

I'm experiencing the same as thefeduke - works fine in Firefox (once I allowed the site in NoScript), not in Chrome.

I also noted that every time that I enter to the forum I need to Login again, so the "Remember me" check mark is not working anymore...

Anybody else had noted this problem?

@Aacini - Yes that problem occurred to me too, today. It's extremely annoying having to login every time you visit. I hope this bug will be fixed soon.

I tried the Select-All Ctrl-C on Win 10 Pro and Win 7 and it worked fine. Tricky to fix without being able to reproduce it.
The Select-All JavaScript is embedded in the html onclick attribute:

Code: Select all

<div class="codetitle">
    <b>Code:</b>
    <a href="#" onclick="var range=document.createRange();range.selectNodeContents(this.parentNode.nextSibling);var selection=window.getSelection();selection.removeAllRanges();selection.addRange(range);return false;">Select all</a>
</div>
<pre class="codecontent">The "Select all" located in the line above</pre>

Let me know any suggestion that I should try.

There are some chrome extensions that reassign "CTRL+C" to do something different than "copy selected text".
In such a case "CTRL+C" shouldn't work at all within your chrome browser anymore.

If that has happened, there are two ways that hopefully solve that issue:
1) Depending on the extension it might help to reset your Chrome settings to default:

2) If (1) doesn't help, you might consider resintalling Chrome (after saving your bookmarks, settings, ...) .

It seems that everything works okay using any other browser than Chrome. So there might be some special behavior using Chrome. Although it's not a general problem because Ctrl+C works like a charm on any other website.
I cant say anything about the "Remember me" because I don't use it.
The last few days I have another problem though. When I'm in the Editor box and am writing then everything works as long as I don't try to click another position in the text. In this case I have problems to get the text pointer back. Only after double-clicking the editor box gets the keyboard focus back. Also this problem only occurs at DosTips and only using Chrome.

@PaperTronics - are you using http://dostips.com or http://www.dostips.com ? Either way could you try the other option and let me know if the issue persists?

@admin - Yesterday I opened DosTips by doing a Google Search, and my account wasn't logged in but today when I opened DosTips today using my bookmark and had my account logged in already. So I guess this issue is solved?

In my case, I can confirm that the "Remember me" check mark is working again now... Thanks!
