Hi @AbhishekAgg

Thank you for contacting us. Can you please provide the steps on how to reproduce the issue?

Steps:

• Focus on cell A1.
• Select the whole row.
• Use keyboard to copy the selection.
• Paste it at any spot.

From the initial debugging, we could see that copy operation onCopy function is early returning from the below condition:
(!isHotInput && event.target !== this.hot.rootDocument.body && TD !== event.target)

because event.target reference the first focussed td element in this case.

Hi @ankurmittal092

I followed the steps you described and could copy the whole row and paste it into a different place. There were no console errors.

Hi @AbhishekAgg

Thank you for the video. I followed your instructions, and I still got the correct results, even using the browser's menu instead of keyboard shortcuts. I also used the same example you sent previously. I will ask my colleague to also check this issue and update you after that.

@AbhishekAgg

My colleague also gets the same results as me. One more question: does it happen only on one version of Handsontable? Also, can you please tell me what keyboard layout you use?

[AbhishekAgg]

@adrianszymanski89 I am using QWERTY keyboard (Device Mac M3 Pro and OS v14.1). Also, a point to note that I am using Chrome version 133+, which had a breaking change for which the fix was provided in v14.6.2 and v15.0.1.

On v15.0.0, copy is not working at all with chrome v133+. Not sure about other versions.

@AbhishekAgg

Thank you for the details. We conducted additional tests, and everything worked fine with 15.0.1. Can you please check on a fresh project?

Hi @AbhishekAgg

I am afraid that we'd need a bit more details here to help.
