I'm also affected by this, but only since I updated from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 - which seems odd given that in the bug report it's affecting 10.10. Actually, it does say "10.10 Ubuntu-Netbook" so could this be something to do with Unity? Although admittedly that sounds somewhat far-fetched...
Just to make clear what the issue is, if I select some text from the sent messages in the main window and press Ctrl-C, pasting using Ctrl-V or 'right click -> paste' has no effect - it merely pastes any information previously copied to the clipboard. In addition, selecting the text and then going 'right click -> copy' on it works properly, I'm able to paste the text using both of the methods mentioned before. This means that firstly, it's the copy command which isn't working - not paste, and secondly that it's the keyboard shortcut to copy which isn't working. Finally, this is specifically in relation to the sent messages section of a chat window - the issue doesn't seem to affect any other part of Empathy (e.g. Ctrl-C in the 'previous conversations' window works perfectly). I'm using Empathy version "2.34.0-0ubuntu3" (previously I was using 2.32-... I believe which didn't appear to be affected). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665552 Title: CTRL-C does not work in irc chat window -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
