Description (last modified by todor) (diff)
1. Open Sophie on a Mac.
2. Select Help > Send an Error Report
3. Insert cursor in the top field, where the log is.
4. Press command-A to select all.
Result: nothing happens. However: if you press control-A to select all, everything is selected; control-C will let you copy things.
The problem is that Mac users expect that keyboard shortcuts use the command key rather than the control key; this seems to be the case everywhere else in the interface. This has been a problem for bug reporting: a couple of users have told me that they could get an error report, but that they couldn't copy and paste it into an email because select all & copy don't work. When I tell them to use "control", it works; however, users wouldn't think to do that by themselves.
Solution: remap "control" key to "command" in this interface.
