Copying from data grid unreliable

Toad for Oracle & DevOps Toolkit

Hi

In the latest version of Toad (12.1.0.22) copying from data grids seems to have become very unreliable.

Generally if I want a value from a data grid I’ll click on it and hit ctrl-C. Now it often doesn’t work. The clipboard still has whatever it had before.

Unfortunately it’s hard to test as it seems to be fairly random whether or not it’ll work. I think it’s more likely to fail straight after running the query - and once it’s started working it carries on working - until it decides to stop working again.

Thanks

Dan

I may have noticed something similar. I wonder if it depends on whether you’ve got
the cell selected (entire rectangle is colored) or the contents of the cell selected (just the background around the digits is colored)?

I think it always works if you actually click into the field and select the text first - but in previous versions of Toad - and in this one when it chooses to behave - it also works when you just highlight the field, which is what you get if you just click on it once.

I’ve worked it out now.

It always happens if you click on the first cell on the first row after running a query. Basically when you click on that cell it momentarily looks like you’ve selected the cell - but then it puts the focus into the cell so nothing is selected and I can start typing - as if I had the “Immediate edit” option turned on.

If it field is a string datatype then it automatically selects the text - and so doesn’t cause a problem, but for numbers it doesn’t select the text.

This never happened in previous versions of Toad (and it’s driving me mad).
