Affected Version:2.11.2

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to any change page while logged in with correct permissions.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I formerly saw icons for copying to clipboard on items like Commit, Change-Id, and in the Download dropdown. They are gone after upgrading from 2.10 for me.


Please provide any additional information below.

Do you get just black squares instead? Then it may be related to firefox blocking the flash helper due to an outdated flash plugin.
And check your preferences, is 'use flash clipboard helper' activated?

I didn't have black squares, just missing. I'm using Chrome.

I toggled the flash clipboard helper preference off and on, and now things are working for me.

Thanks.

I see this issue has been closed but I am still experiencing it on Gerrit 2.11.3.

I have tried in both Chrome and Firefox in both a normal and a private/incognito window, none successfully render the copy to clipboard icons (neither next to Commit, Change-Id nor in the Download dropdown).

What I see in Chrome are very small rectangles with a black outline, and in Firefox I see small squares containing 1,0's with a black outline.

I'm running Firefox 41.0 and Google Chrome 45.0.2454.99 (64-bit).

I'm sorry but I don't see a "use flash clipboard helper" preference in Firefox, can you tell me where it is?

Thanks,
Tom.

Ping.

Can I please request that this issue be reopened? It is clearly still a problem, albeit not that serious. Certainly based on the issue which has just been closed as a duplicate of this one it is not just me that can reproduce the problem.

Thanks,
Tom.

+1 Still a real thing. Gerrit 2.11.4 fresh install, not an upgrade.

On my Corporate IT Windows (tm) VM using Chrome, I see a little black clipboard when I interact with the Gerrit site.

On this computer running Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, with chromium 45.0.2454.101 and working flash version 14.0.0.125, I get a small, slim black rectangle box, that looks like css padding around a missing image.

On that same system, going to the Adobe Shockwave test page shows that it isn't working, even though Flash is.

So, does this issue exist: yes. Now, you could argue that it's not a bug in Gerrit since it's a "design feature to use Shockwave." Which here in 2015 I don't think is really an argument anyone can back up.

Anyway, Linux and shockwave don't hang, and since this tool is used by a lot of Linux users/developers, I'd guess it'd be good to remove the shockwave dependency by default.
