The "copy URL" function is broken in Windows Celestia v1.3.2pre5. Ctrl-Insert and Ctrl-C both write binary characters to the clipboard instead of a long string. Here's an example:
[url]?[/url]
Older versions of Celestia still write usable URLs.
The "Load URL" function works still works fine in pre5.
System:
256MB 500MHz P3, WinXP Pro SP1

Cel. v1.3.2pre5: "Copy URL" writes garbage
Re: Cel. v1.3.2pre5: "Copy URL" writes garbage
I've never been able to get it to work in any version in Windows since the feature was introduced, never mind 1.3.2pre5 :-!(selden wrote:The "copy URL" function is broken in Windows Celestia v1.3.2pre5.

Ah, that might have summat to do with it, no not W2K, only WinME (early version) I dont know where Win98se left off and WinME started. Yes, tried both versions of the command.selden wrote:Malcom, I know W98 and W95 don't work, but aren't you running W2K? I would have expected it to work there. Have you tried both versions of the command? Ctrl-Insert and Ctrl-C?
So, if it is a win95/98/derivatives problem, is windoze fundamentally flawed then (dont answer that !?) or can we hope for a fix ?

Malcolm.

Thanks for the report. This was another bug that arose during the switch to Visual C++ 7.0--not a compiler bug, just some sloppy code that slipped by the VC++ 6. The fix is committed to CVS now.
So far tonight: Chris 1, bugs 0
