Heidi Breaking Copy and Paste in Query

Hi, I am using the latest version of HeidiSQL on Windows 11 (Home). Database is MariaDB 10.11.14.

If I run a query that includes a JSON field (LONGTEXT with JSON constraint) and then try to copy the JSON field into the clipboard (by first viewing it in the Heidi text Editor) I get a system sound from windows indicating an error. Pasting produces no output. See "Untitled Project.mp4"

When I have done this once, copy/paste is then broken even in other applications (e.g Notepad++). Closing Heidi fixes the problem in other applications.

I have noticed it happens on fields where the JSON is displayed in one line in the editor and wrap long lines toggle isn't clickable though I can't see why some entries are displayed on one line and others aren't. E.g.

are

are entries in the same query. Copy (and paste) works on the first example but not the second. And Wrap Long Lines is not clickable in the second.

Thanks! Steve

Please watch out for messages in the log panel at the bottom, when you open the text editor. In some exception cases I have a "Beep" + log message which you may see there.

Hi there, thanks for speedy response.

Getting this in log panel (had to type it as copy and paste stopped working after I tried copy on the JSON :)

When I view in Text Editor (field content is 12751 characters)

[13:15:36.649] Auto disabling word wrap and syntax highlighter for large text

When I try copy: [13:15:40.369] EAbort: Operation Aborted

Yes I could reproduce it. And I think I fixed that for upcoming builds.

Excellent thanks. :)

Hi thanks for the message. The issue was resolved in a nightly build the next day so all sorted. 🙂
