intermittent cell copy problem
 
Often, I'll select a cell, copy, and IQ will either show me the copy menu (and it shouldn't as I'm just copying a cell, not a full item), or it copies the cell content with  the column/field header
 
 
e.g. I wabt to copy "@computer" from the contexts field. It should just copy @computer but it copies:
 
 
Contexts
--------
@computer
 
 
No idea why it does that. I tried to figure it out but...

I've been having this issue for more than a year. A restart seems to fix it every time.

Yes, I've had it too for a long time...  I just decided to report it this time! : )

Perhaps Tools > Options > 1.2.15 is set to Yes. When set to Yes, it copies the header as soon as more than 1 column is selected

Only one cell/column is selected. That's why I don't understand what's happening. Like I said, it's intermittent.

Must be something in the cell content that tricks the code. When it happens, report back the actual content, it must be something trivial, such as a Tab character

OK, but I think it actually does it with every single cell I try to copy when it starts doing it : dates, text, numbers...

I can only confirm this. All cells and all fields are affected when it starts happening.

Yup, but I was referring to an embedded Tab character inside the cell
 
You may want to select "Prompt" for the Tools > Options setting
