Jetbrains account login dialog, copy/paste disabled

Answered

The Jetbrains account login dialog does not allow copy/paste for some reason. Can this be enabled? If it was done for security reasons, its been well established that preventing copy/paste reduces security rather than increases it. See for example:

Copy/paste works using both the shortcuts and the context menu. Please clarify.

I just tried it and copy/paste works for that dialog. I was talking about the "Jetbrains account" login that comes up when you want to associate a Fatal Exception submission to your account. That dialog comes up in a couple of other places as well, though I can't remember the triggers right now.

Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V should work there.

It doesn't. How can I debug it?

Markdown Naviagator plugin is known to cause some copy-paste issues in dialogs, e.g. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-154746

This issue could be realted.

Please check if you have markdown Navigator, and try disabling it.

What OS/keymap do you use? Do you have IdeaVim installed? What keyboard shortcuts do copy/paste for you in the editor?

I do not have either the Markdown Navigator or IdeaVim plugin installed. I do have the Jetbrains Markdown plugin installed.

I use Linux (Fedora 25) with the standard IntelliJ IDEA keymap. In the editor, I can use the standard shortcuts Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v or Ctrl-Ins, Shift-Ins without any problem.

Please file a bug at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA with a screenshot of the dialog and the steps to reproduce. Attach idea.log just in case.

What is the best way for me to bring up this dialog again? I don't have any fatal exceptions right now :-)

Add `-Didea.is.internal=true` in Help | Edit Custom VM Options, restart IntelliJ IDEA, use this:

Thanks guys, was able to debug a bit further and found the issue is not specific to the Jetbrains login dialog box, but rather pasting from my Wine-based KeePass password manager to anywhere in IDEA, including the editor. Its just that normally I only copy from KeePass into the password dialog :-)

In any case, I created: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-176209
