Reproducible: Always

1. Do something to cause the error pop-up dialog to appear.
2. Open the details area.
3. Right-click on the empty space in the details area, and select copy from the pop-up menu.
Comment 1 Krzysztof Daniel CLA 2010-09-08 07:53:53 EDT 
The exception occurrs because the TextTransfer does not tolerate empty string.

Fix

Disables Copy action if nothing is selected.
Comment 3 Krzysztof Daniel CLA 2010-09-08 08:47:03 EDT 
The impact is minor, as the copy fails when it should be disabled.
Comment 4 Krzysztof Daniel CLA 2010-09-08 08:47:21 EDT 
Fix released
Comment 5 Dani Megert CLA 2011-10-06 08:40:10 EDT 
This did not make it into 4.x. Cherry-picked now.
