Decoding doesn't work in read-only fields

Omar | Last updated: Feb 19, 2020 02:48PM UTC

In Burp v2020.1 you cannot convert (e.g. base64-decode) smth in the Proxy history (which is read only). When you selected the desired text and type Ctrl+Shift+B, the selection becomes slightly shorter (as if it was decoded and therefore became a shorter plain text) but you cannot see the result. In the previous versions a new windows with the decoded payload would open.
