Copy-from-console bug

The reporting bug system is not working (https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/report_bug), that is why I am posting here.

I found a very frustrating bug. I have mixed important content because of this bug. I must wait about two seconds before pressing ctrl+c to copy a text from console, otherwise nothing is copied. How to reproduce:

1) Select a text from command window;

2) Press command+c immediately after section;

3) Try to paste the selection somewhere. It will paste not this last copy, but the one before this.

Now try this:

1) Select a text from command window;

2) Wait 2 seconds and press command+c. The paste will work as aspected.

I am using:

MATLAB Version: 9.5.0.1049112 (R2018b) Update 3

Operating System: Mac OS X Version: 10.11.6 Build: 15G22010

UPDATE 1: I wrote crl instead of command by mistake.

UPDATE 2: Adding more information about bug system report.

Did you try bugreports

Or did you send a message to [e-mail] along with your license information?

Mac does not use control c to copy: it uses command-c

When I use command C I do not observe that problem with copying. The only issues I observe with copying are :

• if I command-c copy and then control-k to remove to end of line, then command-v pastes the buffer that was removed by control-k. This is probably deliberate emulation of an emacs behavior
• command-c copying from jxbrower based "doc" display does not work, and I have to use right click copy menu entry.

@Image Analyst.

I have tried bugreports, but not [e-mail]. I'try it as well, thank you!

@Walter Roberson

It was a typo, I wanted to say command, sorry.

I haven't noticed the behaviour you are describing.

[Walter Roberson]

The above bugreports URL requires a support contract. I notice you are on R2018b so it is not completely clear whather you are still covered by support.

@Walter Roberson

The contact the bug report system forwarded me to is not working anymore. It is not a lack of support case.

Thank you for you consideration.
