Problem to solve

Describe your question in as much detail as possible:

We have encountered a potential bug in GitLab Community Edition version v18.0.4 which is related to the “Copy to Clipboard” button functionality within wiki repositories.

When I click the button, the “copied” message appears as expected, but the clipboard content does not update with the intended value. This issue seems to be specific to wiki repositories, as the button functions correctly in source code repositories.

I wanted to bring this to your attention for further investigation. Thank you for your assistance! :slightly_smiling_face:

Suggest opening an issue here to report it, since Gitlab devs don’t read forum posts: Issues · GitLab.org / GitLab · GitLab

It also happens in Gitlab 18.2.0. When you open the issue, also link this forum post, at least they’ll see that 18.2.0 is also affected like 18.0.4.

Temporarily, instead of clicking the clickboard button, you can copy/paste the text to the left of the clipboard icon. Not ideal, but that does copy when you use CTRL-C once the text is selected.
