Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.84 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: Inspect element > Edit as HTML: Sure, one can copy into the X windows clipboard. What is the expected behavior? Also be able to paste things from outside Developer Tools back into Developer tools. What went wrong? The only clipboard Developer Tools knows about is its own way... all pastes come from internal copies. No way to replace any chunk of text from something you composed outside. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 63.0.3239.84 Channel: n/a OS Version: Flash Version:

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this on Linux via - Copy text in an external program - Open DevTools, right click a node > 'Edit as HTML' - Paste via Ctrl-V or right click > 'Paste' The steps above paste the expected text for me. Could you please try this in a clean profile without any extensions and see if it works? You can use guest mode: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6130773 Also, are you able to paste text into the DevTools Console prompt or 'Filter' field?

Dear L. Very kind of you to reply. However, even as Unix user 'nobody', my usual sequence is NOT - Copy text in an external program - Open DevTools, right click a node > 'Edit as HTML' - Paste via Ctrl-V or right click > 'Paste' But instead - Open DevTools, right click a node > 'Edit as HTML' - Copy text in an external program - Paste via right click > 'Paste' Alas as you will notice, as we return from the external program window to the chromium window, the Edit as HTML box has already firmly shut it self, spoiling the experiment.

Ah, I think I understand the issue more clearly now. This sounds like the same core issue as the other, so I'll merge these two reports. |
