Cannot copy from the welcome screen

[richlv]

In the welcome screen (the one with "News", "Getting Started" and "Getting Help"), text can be selected, upon right-click "Copy" is available, but clipboard contents are not updated.

Would be great to be able to copy from this screen (menu, keyboard shortcut, context menu).

Replying to richlv:

upon right-click "Copy" is available, but clipboard contents are not updated.

Only from the welcome screen? If you use copy from right click menu somewhere else, it works?

[richlv]

Yes, that works elsewhere (like dialogs).
Also the menu entry Edit -> Copy is greyed out in the welcome screen, possibly related to the inability to copy text.

Does not work for me neither. Context menu offers two actions ("Copy" and "Select all"), both enabled, but "Copy" does not work. Luckily, middle mouse button copy works, so not a big issue for me.

I've tested old JOSM versions and found out that the issue exists since josm-snapshot-10647.jar. It came with the patch for #13196: the TransferHandler was set to null in GettingStarted.java.

 	127	        lg.setTransferHandler(null);

If I remove this line, "Copy" works again but drag-and-drop of files into JOSM window doesn't work anymore. Don't know how to solve it.

In 18601/josm:

Fix #20528: Copy does not work from the welcome screen

This was caused by setting the TransferHandler to null in order to get
drag and drop working. Instead of setting the TransferHandler to null, we
just set the DropTarget to null, which is what prevents the parent
DropTarget from being triggered.

The DropTarget could also have it's setActive method called with false,
but this will hopefully be less surprising.
