Copying Waypoints won't 'ctrl-V' into game

Hi - just a small change I've noticed since the skin change - if I right-click copy a waypoint from one of the quest pages, I used to be able to go in game and CTRL-V in the chat window which pasted the waypoint (including /waypoint). Now if I copy I get a 'ding' and nothing seems to be copied; CTRL-V returns nothing in the in-game chat window. However if I stripe the required co-ords and then copy/paste it works fine.

Just gave the click-to-copy a quick test in-game and it is working okay if you click on, click off, then back on before copying. The code we used to do that has always been pretty glitchy (the main reason for having it was that it was something that would work in EQ2's old browser). I'll see if we can't update the code at least to get it working properly, perhaps even go to a single click-to-copy using Flash. In the meantime you can use the workaround of clicking on, back off, and back on again and it should work, or just manually selecting and copying. -- lordebon ( talk ) 22:36, August 5, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the info - I have always used a full browser (not the in-game one) and it was this that refused to copy, ctrl-C or any of the other methods including your suggestion. I tried the in-game browser and it ONLY works for me if I right-click the waypoint icon and use ctrl-C. Anything else and I get 'dinged' and nothing on the clipboard to paste. All is weel tho, I am using the in-game browser and its copying and pasting just fine :)
