Serial Monitor copying only visible portion of selected text #2660

Closed as duplicate of#1081
@gioreva

Description

@gioreva

Describe the request

When attempting to copy text from the Serial Monitor in Arduino IDE, only the portion of text currently visible on-screen is copied to the clipboard—even when manually selecting a larger block of text by scrolling.

Expected behavior:
When selecting text manually by scrolling, the entire selection (including off-screen text) should be copied to the clipboard.

Impact:
This issue severely hampers productivity, particularly during debugging sessions or when documenting extensive serial outputs.

Request:
Kindly prioritize addressing this issue as it significantly affects usability.

Thank you.

Describe the current behavior

Only the visible portion of the selection is copied, forcing users to repeatedly copy and paste small segments. This is highly inconvenient, especially when analyzing large amounts of data or logs.
