vscode: Ctrl +C No Longer Copies Blank Lines

  • VSCode Version: 1.31.1
  • OS Version: Windows_NT x64 6.1.7601

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Ctrl + C with cursor on a non-blank line
  2. Ctrl + C on a blank line
  3. Ctrl + V and the blank line is no longer pasted.

This is a break in previous behavior and dissimilar to Ctrl + X operation.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No Yes

ops, nice catch. The commit is somehow lost in master. reverted commit https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/commit/fb810784a67c8b673fc6f28195df91ddddb31fc8 .

@rebornix, it’s been 3 Insiders releases, but it seems to be not there.

Should ship with tomorrow’s Insiders.

… I just wanted to unlock an issue to advertise a glorious 3-line-long extension https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/55243#issuecomment-423810344.

Seems simple to me - it’s unexpected and people don’t like it - then revert #59193. I can republish extension that does exactly the same thing (prevents copying empty lines), but people will know what they’re doing.
