Copying in Markdown Editor looses content

[4te2]

When I am in the Markdown Editor for a page, then press Ctrl-A to select everything, and then Ctrl-C to copy, only some of the content is copied to my clipboard. More specifically, it seems to be the first 500 characters, then …, and then the last 500 characters of the document.
I did not expect that and also didn't notice that some part in the middle was missing. Without the edit history I would have lost some data.

You most likely have a clipboard manager that sync the middle-click buffer (PRIMARY selection) into the clipboard, which takes the screen reader truncated text rather than the actual full text from the editor.

Either try disabling your clipboard manager PRIMARY/selection sync, or do a proper Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V for pasting.

I do not have such a sync enabled. I can see my clipboard history with Meta+V and it only contains text I explicitly copied (i.e. Ctrl-C). Ctrl-V also only pastes whatever I last copied explicitly.

I have the same problem I described in my post when selecting all the text in the Markdown Editor, and then doing right click, and selecting the Copy Option. With Shift+Right Click (to force the browser's context menu), there is no Copy option available.

I also tested with Chromium, and there the problem does not occur.

I am on the latest KDE Plasma with Wayland.

I also never had a similar problem with any other application.

This is a standard Monaco implementation. There's not much I can do here.

You can try to replicate the bug here:
https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/

and file a bug on their repo if so.

Their playground has the same behaviour: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/playground.html
I'm gonna report the bug with Monaco, then.

Thanks for your work. I really like the new version!

Ah, found a solution. In case anyone else runs into this: microsoft/monaco-editor#1540 (comment)
