Description Helmut J. Haigermoser CLA 2011-12-19 12:44:27 EST 
Build Identifier: 

The properties view allows the copying of content, property keys and values, into the Clipboard. However, the action should only be enabled when actual content is available, an empty properties view does not support copying (nothing lands in the Clipboard) ...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open empty Properties view
2. Right-Click -> Copy
3. Paste: Nothing is pasted

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
