Re: Copying of the value of a variable to the clip board whilst debugging no longer works

So I’ve upgraded to NetBeans 26, release a couple of hours ago !

Now Copy works for things in the Value column in the Variables window.

So that works for me.

Click on the 3 dots and I get a Value window.

The edit menu is disabled so I cannot copy from this window.

Thanks to all who commented on this.

Assuming we are talking about the Variables tab, I checked on MacOS
15.5 / NB 26 and I can copy from a variable, if I click directly on
the value part so that just the value is highlighted. It's possible to
click elsewhere so that the whole row is highlighted, and in this case
the edit menu is (mostly) disabled, as described.
I don't know if this has changed recently; NB25 is the same AFAICS.
