BUG - can't copy text from selection box in Factbook

When the person entered is not found in Factbook, I can't copy what I typed in either by keyboard or by menu. This means that when Factbook comes up short (too frequently to my mind) I can't copy and paste to put it into a tool more certain to succeed.

I cannot reproduce this using the keyboard (Ctrl+C), however I can reproduce it via the menu.

Just typed "Samson Raphael Hirsch" and finding it unmatched below (as you did), I pressed Ctrl+A (for Select All), pressed Ctrl+C, and am pasting here: Samson Raphael Hirsch

(I did not have Samson Raphael Hirsch in my clipboard before doing the above, so it definitely copied it into my clipboard.)

Tried again, by replacing my clipboard contents with something dummy text first, and then typing "Samson Raphael Hirsch" again, pressing Ctrl+A, then right clicking on the selected text and choosing "Copy" -- then I pasted and the dummy clipboard contents were pasted, not "Samson Raphael Hirsch".

I can confirm Rosie's findings: Ctrl-C works (making sure the text is selected, of course), whereas copying through the right-click menu doesn't work. The same holds true for the other two menu items: Ctrl-X works to cut out the selected text, Ctrl-V works to insert text from the clipboard, whereas using the context menu won't do anything.

This is in Logos 30.0 Beta 1 as well as Verbum 29.0 (latest stable version) on Windows 10

I can also confirm that the bug only happens when the text typed is not found as a Factbook entry. I tried typing one of the entries that I saw below "Samson Raphael Hirsch" in the dropdown menu, and then selecting it and right-clicking and using the context menu to choose Copy, and it worked. I was able to paste that text elsewhere.

Thanks everyone, I was able to reproduce when trying to select the copy option from the menu. I will create a case for this issue.
