Ability to copy text from browser terminal

[0xmichalis]

I am not able to copy text from the Terminal tab of a pod - is it something not supported in the console or a quirk of my browser?

I've tried to reproduce the issue but without any luck. What version of origin and console (in case you are lunching console in dev mode) are you running ? + what browser ?

what browser ?

Firefox 57

What version of origin and console (in case you are lunching console in dev mode) are you running ?

I can reproduce this in a couple of different clusters, both dev and our ci cluster which is openshift v3.7.0-rc.0+bd64aab-99.

The steps I am following is navigate to the terminal logs and try to copy paste either by selecting the text and right-click, or Ctrl+C (terminal signal), or Ctrl+Shift+C (opens a debugger and a couple of other windows in my browser).

@Kargakis I think you're seeing xtermjs/xterm.js#1003. Unfortunately they haven't released xterm.js v3 with the fix yet.

Not sure this is related or not but I can not copy paste either in Chrome when accessing the terminal tab on a mongo-db Pod. It is also "not friendly" with my AZERTY keyboard for non standard characters : even to enter a {, I need to use alt + ascii code...

@yvnicolas xterm.js recently releases v3 and has a test example you can run https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js#demo

can you see if you still have these issues on their latest? we plan to update during 3.10

@yvnicolas Which OpenShift version are you using? We fixed several bugs in this area in 3.7.

Should be fixed by #2849
