Copy-Paste (at least) shortucts don't work in "Proxy > HTTP History" part of the app in Burp Community

I've noted it a few versions ago, but thought as it's pretty obvious, somebody will report it and it will be fixed soon. But it still doesn't work. When I select some entry in History table, and try to select and copy any text using Ctrl-C from at the Request/Response tabs at the bottom, nothing goes to clipboard. At the same time, if copying is done manually, by right-clicking the selected text and choosing "Copy" command from pop-up menu, it works. Also, shortcuts seem to work in "Decoder" part of the app as well. So it's definitely a bug, and it only affects History's shortcuts functionality.

My current OS is Ubuntu, version is 18.04.5 LTS (Bionic Beaver)

Hi Alex, Just to clarify, which version of Burp are you currently using when you experience this? It sounds like this is something that you have experienced on multiple versions but if we could get the version that you are using now then we can try and replicate the issue.

Hi, Ben. Sorry for the late response. Not sure which of these numbers is the version you need, here are they all: "About" shows: Community edition v2021.5.1 build 7814 And app's window's caption reads this: v1.7.30

Hi Alex, I have just tried to replicate this using Ubuntu 18.04 and Burp Community 2021.5.1 and am unable to do so. Copy and paste shortcuts appear to work as expected in the HTTP history tab and also throughout Burp. To confirm, is this only affecting the contents of the HTTP history tab (so you cannot copy part of a request?) and you can, for example, copy and paste using the shortcuts within the Repeater tab?
