Code-server: Empty selection clipboard

[nrlulz]

• code-server version: 1.604-vsc1.32.0 binary
• OS Version: Ubuntu 16.04, AWS

Description

After updating 1.604, the "Empty Selection Clipboard" setting does not seem to work anymore. Confirmed it works as expected in 1.408, does not work in 1.604, 1.691 or 1.696.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch code-server
2. Create new file, enter text on multiple lines
3. Place cursor in the middle of a line with no text selected
4. ctrl+x to cut line
5. line is removed and copied to clipboard as expected on 1.408, nothing happens on 1.604 onward

Thank you for reporting this!

@nrlulz just to clarify, the line doesn't get removed from the editor nor copied to the clipboard in v1.604?

[nrlulz]

@nol166 correct. the same applies for copying with an empty selection, it would copy the line without removing it but it does not get copied to the clipboard anymore.

Might be related to #443, #376 and many others.
I think this must be solved as this is subject to many bug reports.

I can confirm that this is the real issue in current version of code-server.
