[Ubuntu] Ctrl+C disabled in build log ?

(1/2) > >>

Kalith:
Hi,

I've searched the forum for some hints but couldn't find anything : using Ubuntu (I can't recall for Windows), you can't use Ctrl+C to copy strings in the compiler log, because the code text control has priority, even when not focused. I have to right click it and select "Copy selection to clipboard", which is neither handy nor standard.
Furthermore, when I right click on the selected text (only in the compiler log), coloring changes and the selected text becomes white... on a white background ! (was white on a gray background before right click)

Is there any chance that this can be fixed ? Copy/pasting compiler messages can be very useful to google obscure C++ template errors.

This is a wxGTK bug/feature, see here for details: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/11320

There is a workaround though: select the text, then right click, then copy selection to clipboard

Kalith:
Damn dependencies... I know the workaround (I wrote it in my previous post), it's just not handy.
I guess I'll wait for wxGTK to fix it (will they ?). Thank you :(

oBFusCATed:
I doubt they'll fix it...

Kalith:
At least, would it be possible to rename it simply "Copy" and "Copy all" ?
Every time I have to double check I'm not clicking on "Copy content to clipboard" :) The two items are approximately the same length, and the key word is in the middle of the phrase.
