I can't reproduce this on commit 9daaa12 with the linked reproduction project.

Make sure the hexadecimal code is displayed instead of the color string:

Color string

According to color string, I meant I got in clipboard literally "color" text, 5 chars, not color value as Godot's Color object.

Well, I have discovered something else. I downloaded Godot 3.2 RC 3 on my another PC with Windows 10 Home installed. I tried to reproduce this bug with attached project and it seems copying hex code from that dialog doesn't work at all. Both Control+C and Right Mouse Context Menu are not working. I made sure my clipboard board works my copying and pasting random text in Node description and it's fine. Also I made sure I'm trying to copy hex code, not the Color object as you showed on images above.

Cannot reproduce this on RC 3 Mono, I am using Linux Mint 19.3.

It is likely that this is a Windows-only issue, but "needs testing" indeed

I have discovered something else which might be related - Linux Mint 19.3;

Could it be that you already had "color" in your clipboard? When I attempt to copy the hex value using the rmb context menu, the selection is cleared as soon as the mouse enters it, resulting in nothing actually being copied.

@MennoMax Sorry for my late response. Well, I tried reproducing this issue on both Windows 7 and 10 with Godot 3.2 stable and it's just like you say. Actually, nothing is copied to clipboard while trying to copy Hex Code of color variable. You are right. I have changed title of this bug.

I have this issue in 3.2 and noted that only happens if you copy with mouse (using right-click menu), not with keyboard (ctrl-c).

It just happens always. The problem is that the text gets deselected when you right-click it; probably it is caused by the color validation and correction done when it loses focus.
