COPY often doesn't work anymore.

[e-motiv]

Since a couple of months now the copy feature doesn't work very well anymore. It does nothing and the clipboard just holds the last copied item without changing. This happens quite often actually. Not sure why. Sometimes it still works though... NO idea why.

STandard setting:
Name: Copy, Search url:COPY, Icon URL:(empty)

Which operating system and which browser?

Win11, Brave (which is basically chrome)

I have tried it in both Chrome and Brave on Windows 11 and Linux, and it's working just fine for me.

Do you get any error messages in the console when it happens?

Web site console: Ctrl + Shift + I
Extension console: Right click the extension icon => manage extension => check developer mode (upper right) => Inspect views => Service worker.

First of all, let me make a related feature request: Can you make the radial menu disappear after selecting the copy icon and maybe after the clipboard has succesfully been filled? Would be nicer to know if it really was copied. (But I understand that this is not standard behavior like the other icons, then maybe a little msg somewhere, like "Copied!".)

Secondly, now that I want it to fail it is difficult to reproduce. It tried 20 times before the one below after "Finally..". Typical, when you want it to fail it doesn't.

Thirdly, I managed to reproduce it once. But the console was not opened. So I open the console and do EXACTLY the same thing and then it works. Aaargh.
That was on this url: https://www.cars-data.com/search_results.html?q=Renault+Master+2.3+2018 and I copied the first result linked text in blue.

Finally I reproduced it with console open and nothing special to see there. One issue, but that issue is there even if it works. See attachments. This site: https://www.parkers.co.uk/ I tried to copy "city car" under "Or search reviews by car type".
Second time it works just fine, same words. Is it maybe the first copy I try to do directly after a new page is loaded? But after CTRL F5 the same site, it works again. Hmm It's super difficult to reproduce. Thinking out loud: Maybe when selecting a certain invisible element that is not visible for the user??? I tried to force this, but again without a true negative...

Pfff.. Any advice on how to reproduce this better is welcome..maybe already some useful info for you? I dunno

If you want the menu to hide after clicking the copy icon you can use the "Hide menu on click" option in the wrench menu next to the search engine.

There is also a "Close popup after click" option under Popup menu => advanced settings, this will affect all search engines.

The only thing I can think of is that you may sometimes miss the button when you try to click the copy button, if that's the case the menu should close after the click, even when the above options to auto close the menu is not in use.

Cool feature! But also: I presume not yet with a check if it really was copied? That would be nice(r).

I thought of that too but I don't think so, It happened too many times before. I will pay extra attention to it if ever you or me would think of some better reproducing..

I'm having the same damn issue. The first copy click never seems to work, but it always copies on the second try. Chrome on Mac.
