Cannot cut-copy-paste

Support
1

My version of HedgeDoc is: docker 1.9.6

What I expected to happen:

Be able to cut text with ctrl-x, copy text ctlr-c, paste text ctrl-v.

What actually happened:

Nothing happens.

I already tried:

Searching posts and docs.
The demo at https://demo.hedgedoc.org/ works. It does allow cut copy paste.

Hey @dgleba,

any log output in the browser console or the server that could be of interest?
How exactly are you running HedgeDoc? I suppose you use a reverse proxy exposing the docker container to the internet? Maybe you can provide us with a bit more info. With the current info it’s hard to help you.

Greetings

Setup: HedgeDog Docker (lscr.io/linuxserver/hedgedoc:latest), Postgres, Traefik as ReverseProxy

Same problem here. Its seams to be a problem with multiline copy-and-past. For Example, this text here crash the container. I cant see any error messages, but the [...]info: HTTP Server listening at 0.0.0.0:3000[...] message after a failed past.

I have a similar problem and I think it’s the same root cause. After a bit of work, I’ve discovered that if you copy-paste a large amount of text (such as multiline), it causes the server to fail and restart, just like @foorschtbar

By using a logged in user, and ensuring that I provide a session secret, even when the container crashes and restarts, my client will finish the copy-paste and insert the multiline data. There’s a bit of delay, and the webapp shows OFFLINE for a moment, but then everything’s fine.

With debug logs, I found that the moment I copy-paste into the web client, the following happens on the server… it looks very similar to a crash but I don’t know.

I have a similar problem and I’ve made an issue here :

After some investigation, we discovered that the issue was linked to the volume of text pasted into a note rather than a special character, as initially assumed. The only relevant log entry we identified was Illegal instruction.

In an effort to address the problem, we explored potential CPU-related issues on the internet. A search for amd x86 nodejs crash led us to a related issue, nodejs/node#48700, which highlighted a nodejs library breaking due to a lack of AVX support.

To mitigate this, we applied a workaround for a separate AVX-related issue by changing the kernel version, and this successfully resolved the problem.
