Rocket.chat.electron: Copy/paste does not reliably work on Electron client

[bkraul]

My Setup

• Operating System: Windows 10 Pro Build 1809
• App Version: 2.15.0
• Installation type: exe

• [ ] I have tested with the latest version
• [x] I can simulate the issue easily

Description

It seems the copy/paste behavior does not work reliably when using the Electron client, even when using the context menu to expressly copy/paste text.

Current Behavior

Nothing is copied, and the clipboard retains whatever was in the buffer before.

Expected Behavior

The clipboard should consistently store what is copied from the app (message text, Administration info text, etc).

This is killing us, as well.

Same issue here.

Thanks to @wreiske's information I've found the root cause: there is a serious bug on recent Electron versions related to <webview> tag focus where all views remain focused while the actions are only applied to the first one. I'm experimenting a little, trying to find a reliable workaround.

[tassoevan]

This doesn't seem to be a problem anymore. Could you confirm @bkraul and @wreiske?

[bkraul]

No. Still does not work on 2.16.2 (with 2.3.0-develop server). (Windows 10 Build 1909 Client)

[AlenaVorobiova]

I have the same issue on 2.17.7

It seems to have been fixed after updating Electron to v10.
