BUG: "copy" command in context menu of built-in pdf viewer does not work

Dear development team,

The "copy" command in context menu of built-in pdf viewer does not seem to work properly. The bug can be reproduced by copying some text in a pdf document and pasting it somewhere else. Nothing has been copied to the clipboard actually. However, the Ctrl-C command works.

I suffered the same problem. All possible copy and paste operations do not copy text in my case. Version 6.0.3

In 6.0.2 I could select an annotation with a click and copy it with Ctrl-C but it doesn't work anymore in 6.0.3.

Same here, Ctrl C works, context menu copy nothing
6.0.2 windows 10

Updated to 6.0.3 because of

Thanks!

Updated to v6.0.4 but still had the same problem. Don't know why.

A video demonstrating the issue would be very helpful.

Finally, switching the interface language of Zotero to English solved the problem. Likely it is a bug with CJK characters.
