I\'ve got a request. On the the history tab, it shows prior edits but does not allow text from those edits to be copied. At least for me personally, being able to copy that text would be really helpful, as sometimes when I make an edit whole sections of the page will get deleted, either through my own incompetence, some issue with my computer or reasons I can\'t even figure out. While seeing it is helpful when this happens, manually typing out everything can be kind of annoying.

Copying from history works fine for me. Are you on a mobile browser or something?

Laptop, Firefox. Well, if you can do it, maybe it's just a bug then. I'll see if it's still the case tomorrow.

I can't copy the history on Firefox. I can do it in Chrome however.

I can't copy anything in Firefox, either.

It's working for me now.

If it's still not working for you, Willbyr, feel free to post it in the bug thread. It works for me now too, so I did not post anything.

It's working for me now, too. I'm going to close this as it appears to be fixed; if it comes back up, holler or PM for a reopen.
