Vscode-restclient: Cannot copy data from response

[codermrrob]

• REST Client Version: 0.24.1
• VSCode Version: 1.47.2
• OS Version: Win_NT x64 10.0.18362

Steps to Reproduce:

Sorry I know this is vague, but its hard to make it repeatable. Some responses seem to have become impossible to copy data from. Others still are fine.

I can repeat it with bearer tokens, from an authorization endpoint, from one API every time.

Make the auth request, tokens are returned to the response editor (as exepected). But if I select the token (or any part of it) in the response and hit CTRL-C and attempt to paste it into my working editor all I get is an empty line. Also this used to work fine, I've been doing this for a couple of years with your plugin, which is awesome by the way.

As a feature suggestion it would be really convenient to have the response as a normal editor window, or at least an option for that.

• REST Client 0.24.1
• VS Code 1.47.2
• OS Windows_NT x64 10.0.19041

Can't use Ctrl+C in the Result tab anymore.
It was working until earlier today, when I restarted VS Code.

I updated both my REST Client and my VS Code (from 1.30...) today so maybe one of those has something to do with it.

More details:
The behavior is not that straightforward. If you select the full body of the request you can copy. Also if you select 6 or more rows from the Body you can copy. But if you select lines only from the Headers or less than 6 from the body you can't copy. Very odd.
(And annoying.)

Normal document view is supported by set the setting rest-client.previewResponseInUntitledDocument to true

@CharlieScarver @codermrrob this seems to be related with the VS Code update in 1.47.2, issues already reported by others in the VS Code repository microsoft/vscode#102736

Thanks - just switching views in the response. Can't believe I missed that :/

Thanks again, great tool, its so much more convenient than Postman, etc

I can confirm it's working like a charm on Insiders:
