double click behaviour with in-line editor

[gandalfthegreydev]

Hi all
i'm new to dbeaver, coming from a (very good, to me), HeidiSQL running under Wine.

What I see using dbeaver is a very very annoying behaviour when I double click on a cell with the inline-editor.
When double clicking, the cell is highlighted, thus i would expect that I can directly copy the value by doing a CTRL+C or i can replace everything (as everything is selected) by start typing something on the keyboard, but that's not the case. To copy I have to click 1 or 2 times more. Probablye the second time is to "unselect" the selection ,the third time is to place the cursor.

Very, very very annoying. Is this something i can change in the settings ? The best would be to automatically set the cursor (in edit mode) where the mouse has clicked the cell, without selecting everything automatically. In this way I can start adding/cancelling something directly or press CTRL+A (or an additional double click) so select everything. In other words, like the standard workflow for any tabel/cell/spreadsheet/inputtext

I think this video should explain the issue

You can configure double-click behavior in preferences

the question in about a different things, not to change the behaviour

[E1izabeth]

Yes, I see your point. Thanks. I'm going to discuss with the team and return to you later

Any update ?

Unfortunately, we couldn't reproduce the behavior that you described.
DBeaver copies the cell value under selection. If it doesn't happen to you, I would suggest to Restoring default settings for the shortcuts

ssttings are already set as default

I have the same issue (running ubuntu). I don't think this used to be the case if I recall correctly

I'm experiencing this issue as well (and have as long as I have been using DBeaver, but never thought to look it up until now). I can confirm that I can only reproduce the issue on Ubuntu; on a Windows install, the issue does not occur.

Just to re-describe the issue, when double-clicking on an unselected cell, the cell becomes editable and the text is highlighted. At this point, if I attempt to copy the text with ctrl+c, the text will not be copied to the clipboard. If I instead click again to un-highlight the text, and then re-highlight the text, ctrl+c works as expected to copy the data.
