Copy-paste bug replication for OSX

Juha | Last updated: Aug 24, 2017 09:31AM UTC

We managed to reproduce an old usability bug! The bug in question is that hotkeys and key combinations don't work properly. Mostly this is visible as copy-paste being broken. Turns out the bug is transferable by some settings that get stored in state files. I, on a mac with the bug occurring, was able to move the bug over to a windows machine where it would be reproduced. This was done by storing a session and importing in in the other instance. If this bug has not been fixed, I'd happily share the state file that reproduces the issue. https://support.portswigger.net/customer/portal/questions/14313644-cmd-key-on-mac-not-working-within-burp-v1-6-26-java-1-8-6- https://support.portswigger.net/customer/portal/questions/14363772-copy-paste-cut-shortcuts-ctrl-c-v-x-are-not-working-on-windows-1-

Hi Juha, Thanks for getting in touch. There was an issue that could cause the hotkey settings to be wiped out. I think this was if you cancelled loading a project. That issue has now been fixed. What I think you're seeing is that the empty hotkey settings are saved in your state file. If you load the state file, then click the cog button by Hotkeys and select "Restore defaults" you should be able to save the state file with useful hotkey settings. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

You can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-V or alternatively load the license from a file.
