If I am using multiple OpenSCAD windows '2019.05] and I select code, it is not uncommon for the selected code to vanish, and if I don't notice it can be gone, it doesn't go into the cut and paste buffer, it just goes.  A swift CTRL-Z puts it back, then selection and CTRL-C works just fine. I'm not keen on the multiple tabbed incarnation in 2021.01 as I like to see what I last rendered, I should probably use Preview more frequently TBH. My workflow doesn't really seem to work so well if I use Geany with the OpenSCAD plug-in, I can often have six or 8 models open at any one time so separate windows suits me so I can move them around on a dual 24inch  screen set-up. I've not mentioned it before, I just live with it. Roger.

I'm not using the older versions as the latest Linux AppImage is around 50x faster for F6. Get it from way way down the downloads page. Whole new ball game. Sweet stuff. However Roger, your email was empty, and I am replying to the attachment, how did you manage that? > > Roger.

Due to some email providers being ultra strict with new SPAM security provisions, which don't work nicely with Mailman lists.
