Cannot copy text from response body if syntax highlighting is active

[drdator]

1. Activate View -> Syntax Highlighting if not active
2. Make a request that returns JSON
3. Select some text in the response body and copy with cmd-c or ctrl-clicking and selecting "Copy"
4. Try to paste somewhere and nothing will be pasted

Hmm... I haven't seen this happen. Can you provide some more details? MacOS version? Did you do anything after launching the app prior to running this?

[drdator]

This is on macOs 10.12.6. It happens when Syntax Highlighting is on.

I actually am running the same version as macOS as you and I don't see this problem, so I guess that rules that out. I assume Command-C and Command-V also don't work?

Anything else unusual about your system that springs to mind that might have some impact on copy-paste? I'd definitely like to get to the bottom of this in case it is impacting other people...
