Copy to clipboard not working on Firefox about uigradients

[schmanat]

I can repoduce this bug. I'm using Windows 10 Enterprise 64 bit (version: 1607 systembuild: 14393.105) with the latest firefox 48.0.2.

I try other browsers like IE 11 and Edge, latest version of chrome without any problems.

It seems that firefox couldn't trigger the copy function.
If I copy a gradient on the other browsers i will see an "success" message "You got it. Go make something awesome!" on Firefox this messag will never show.

Same issue if I try to copy only one color code (shown on the top, left side).

Thanks for reporting this. I actually had contemplated using clipboard.js over zeroclipboard. The problem with clipboard.js is that it doesn't work on safari.

The number of users accessing the site on safari vs. firefox is roughly the same. Ergo, it's a small tradeoff to use zeroclipboard and be able to provide the copy functionality to all.

Since the copy functionality works and the eventing issue has already been reported on zeroclipboard, I am going to go ahead and close this issue now.

I am woking on a refresh of uigradients.com and will probably be using clipboard.js for that.

@schmanat That's right. I was using Firefox on a Linux dist and now I'm using Firefox on Windows 10 and it still happens.

Seems to be a issue with the ZeroClipboard on Firefox.

I think I got it, it's the Flash Player. I installed it and now it works with a small bug though. The success message doesn't display right after clicking to copy.

ZeroClipboard uses Flash, you can check the demo on:

A better approach would be using clipboard.js, which does not require Flash.

OK thans for your search. I hate Flash: 😄
