Issue: Firefox/Chrome doesn’t support clipboard operations (copy/paste, to/from) using Block selection
After debugging/researching on the clipboard copy/paste issue in the Firefox and Chrome, I came to know that for security reasons, Firefox and Chrome doesn’t allow copy/paste text from/to clipboard.
IE supports this out of the box.
DHTMLX 3.6 version which we are using has handled this issue in a good way and display the appropriate pop-up of ‘Access to clipboard denied’ in FF/Chrome.
dhtmlx 4.2 allows to use ctl-c and ctrl-v hotkeys to copy from clipboard and paste from clipboard while working with grid component. While direct access to clipboard is not allowed, default clipboard hotkeys still can be used in all browsers.
