VC++ 6 IDE
You can right click the Definition field to copy its text to the clipboard.
You can even use keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Ins to copy.
However, keyboard shortcuts work only if something is selected in the source window. If nothing is selected, Ctrl+C inside the Definition field just beeps and does nothing. |

We cannot reproduce your problem.
Can you describe the steps to reproduce it?
When you say, "in the source window," are you referring to the window where you normally edit code? We find the behavior does not depend on a selection in this window. Instead, if something in the Context field is selected, it's copied. If nothing is selected, nothing is copied. (Notice "Copy" is disabled in the context menu (RMB) for the definition field when it has no selection.)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a .cpp file in VC++ 6 IDE
2. Single click an #include line (do not select any text, just put the caret on that line)
The Context and Definition fields will display the header file name and full path, respectively.
3. Now single click anywhere inside the Context (or Definition) field
This will select the entire text of that field
4. Hit Ctrl+C... and it just beeps and no text is copied
However, if I select at least one character on step 2 then the copy on step 4 works just fine.

We still cannot reproduce the problem using build 1444.
What build do you have?
Does the behavior depend on where you place the caret on the #include line?
Any other add-ins that might cause a conflict? |

I can reproduce it with VS 6 and 1444. Perhaps it is related to "Enable copy without selection" from Options, Compatibility. The default is to have this enabled. I have it disabled (because I hated accidentally copying a new line when I meant to paste one word, but hit the wrong key )
Looking at this a bit further, if "Enable copy without selection" is disabled, you cannot copy anything out of the context field, even if you manually select some text in the field.
case = 1064 |

Ctrl+C and the Definition field (minor)
