Description Ed Willink CLA 2021-09-14 06:22:19 EDT
The JUnit Failure trace pane frequently displays some interesting text that merits re-use in perhaps a search, but it is not possible to select a text range.

Please spport a conventional select and copy.

(This is a specific example of a generic problem that select and copy is too often not available within Eclipse but SWT seem reluctant to accept that there is a generic problem. Each instance is pushed back as bad UI programming rather than inadequate UI tooling.)

Workaround, the entire trace can be copied and pasted to somewhere where a select and copy does work.

Ditto, the stack trace of the Debug Pane.
