Description:
Bug #60410, "Copy/paste from SQL Editor no longer works"

This bug was never fixed, being able to copy ONE row at a time is NOT a solution.

Others have commented the about the same problem.

We should be able to select multiple rows, which we cannot, and then copy to the clipboard with keyboard shortcuts and/or context menu.

How to repeat:
Open Workbench, Run a query, try and select multiple rows.

For me (with pre-release binaries of 5.2.41) on Windows XP context menu item(s) "Copy Row Content" just work. If more than one row is selected, entire section is copied.

So, please, wait for 5.2.41 official release (should be soon), check the procedure described above there and, if it does not work for you, re-open this report with more details.

I'm on OSX, and unable to select multiple rows in the resultset.

Indeed, there is a problem with 5.2.41 official binaries on Mac OS X. I'd prefer to just make a new, platform-specific bug out of this.

Works for me. I can select multiple rows by holding shift and dragging or holding command and clicking rows.

tested with 5.2.41 running on 10.6.8 and 10.8.
Selecting individual rows in a resultgrid works using Cmd+Click anywhere in the desired rows.
A subsequently executed "Cmd+C" properly copies the selected rows data into the clipboard, formatted as CSV

Corrected in 5.2.41 release
