    Alley,

    Hmmmmmsssss.... let's see....

    *goes into the game, does the /bug... then the /copy.... it says that copied ALL TEXT in the window(I can see this being a BIG problem if there is a LOTTA text), comes back here aaaaaannnnnnddddd.... does the CNTL-V*

    Nothing.... just nothing...

    Workaround: Copy paste to Notepad first and from Notepad to Browser.

    ah, there's another step there. whichever clipboard sota copies things to is not the one my browser expects to see. hit paste in a plain notepad doc of some sort, then copy that.

    edit: you don't need to do /copy after /bug. the notepad trick will work directly after /bug.
