Chrome Password Copy

[MatthiasW]

For some reason this doesn't work quite correctly in Google Chrome.
If I open a card and highlight the stars, then hit Control-C, I get an
error beep and nothing copies. However, if I navigate to another open
tap, then come back to the Clipperz tab with the stars still
highlighted, it copies fine.

In the "silly but might help" category, I've discovered under both Safari and Chrome that tabbing to that password box works better than clicking on it. Bizarrely, my current sequence of actions is now

1) click on it
2) hit shift-tab (to move the focus away)
3) hit tab (to move the focus back onto it)
4) cmd-c (to copy it)

Totally gross, yes, but it's pretty ingrained in my fingers, now.

Yet another wacky work-around,

Hello,

the problem with password masking, is that it makes very difficult to
provide useful feedback.

In the /beta version there was a little helper that, when you clicked
on the password field, it would automatically select the whole value.
But we have never been able to make it work reliably on all the
different browsers, so we have opted to remove it to avoid possible
confusion.

The current habit I have grown on me, is to triple-click on the
password field. Double-click may work, but if you use also special
characters in your passwords, double-click will only select the word
under your mouse, and not the full value.
Triple-click (aka: select the whole line) will instead select the full
value; apparently this behavior is quite reliable on many different
combination of browsers and operating systems.

Sorry for the trouble.

Hope this helps.
