Cannot copy/paste annotations (Zotero 6 beta)

bjohas
Hi @dstillman, from the other thread:

On the left panel, in the PDF editor, when I right-click on a note (or use the overflow), I get 'add to note', colours, 'edit page number', 'edit highlighted text', 'delete'. Should there be an export there?
@bjohas: Just select the annotation and press Cmd/Ctrl-C, or use Edit → Copy, or drag to a text field.

For me (latest beta, on Ubuntu 20.04), copying or dragging into libreoffice doesn't work. Is there anything I can try?

    Do you get the highlighted text if you do Cmd/Ctrl-C and paste it into any other text editor?

    @bjohas: It should be the same as Quick Copy for regular items in the library view. On 20.04, I get raw HTML for both when dragging to LibreOffice 6.4, which I think other people have reported before and is outside of our control. Ctrl-Shift-C (items) and Ctrl-C (annotations) and pasting into LO works for me. Not sure whether LO 7.3 is any different there.

    (Both work the same to LibreOffice on macOS.)

    Hi both, thank you for comments. Just to show what I am trying to do:

    Can you provide a Debug ID?
  • bjohas
    I started Zotero, used both ctrl-c and copy from the menu (on an annotation). Debug id: D2078866669.

    Thank you!
