I know, but just wondering what's causing it to happen.
Stay well

Hello Jacob
As a potential work around you could reverse your actions.
Try pressing end to go to the end of the link, then press shift home to
select backwards and then copy.
. Worth a try as I do not believe it is any more keystrokes.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Strange thing where last character of
selectedline doesn't get copied to clipboard
Not really sure when this started happening, but on specifically my one
machine where I mostly notice it happening, and generally, but not
necessarily only there, when I want to copy a URL from an email message
when
it hasn't been rendered as a link so I can go paste it into the address
bar
of a web browser, I'll go to that line, hit the home key just to make sure
am on the first character of the line - generally the h of http, then hit
the key combo of shift + end to select the whole line, and hit Ctrl + C to
copy it to clipboard, but then when I go to IE, for example, and paste it
into the address bar, it'll paste the whole line, but missing the last
character from that line, so, for example, if the end of the URL was the
extension of an .html file, it'll try paste something ending in .htm.
I've tried this out using a few screenreaders etc., and it's generally
happening in outlook express 6, on a windows XP machine, and it doesn't
really seem to matter what the length of the line of text is, and it's
definitely not limited to web addresses either, but that's when I notice
it
the most, and it really only happens as such when I try to copy one line's
contents to the clipboard since if I use shift + down arrow to select a
whole line including the carriage return and line break then it doesn't
seem
to be noticeably missing anything out.
I've tried various screen resolutions, and made sure windows are
maximised,
but like said doesn't seem to be affected by length of the line etc., and
although won't confirm that happens 100% of the time, it happens most of
the
time, and also doesn't seem to be affected by either HTML or plain text
emails as such.
Any thoughts?
