Crash when "Copy" in Preview mode

[waltlps]

I'm using RedNotebook 2.20 on Windows 64 bits. I noticed that when I'm in Preview mode and I click Edit--> Copy the software crashes immediately and all changes in the edit section are lost.
I searched for this bug here at GitHub and didn't see this reported. I don't know if this same bug exists in the latest version of RedNotebook.
I am going to keep this version until I receive some feedback on the matter and hopefully I could provide any more details you need.
Thanks!

Thanks for the report! Could you try running RedNotebook from the command line, click "Edit->Copy" and paste the output here? If that's not possible, please paste the contents of the C:\Users\username.rednotebook\rednotebook.log file.

Hi @jendrikseipp ! Thanks for your message. I am going to paste the contents of C:\Users\username.rednotebook\rednotebook.log file. I tried loading rednotebook from both PowerShell and CMD, re-created the issue, but nothing was shown in both terminals.

These are the contents of rednotebook.log:

I can see the bug is logged there.

I am open to assist in whatever it's possible.

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, I can't look into this at the moment, but maybe someone else can.

Closing this since the newest version has a new preview mode that uses an external browser.
