Abrowser can't copy text in ShareLaTeX

Project:Trisquel
Version:7.0
Component:Programs
Category:bug report
Priority:minor
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:active
Description

Copying a block of text in any ShareLaTeX document results in a Unicode block (U+0001). Any other browser works fine. This issue persisted for many versions of Abrowser.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create any .tex document in ShareLaTeX.
2. Copy a block of text (C-c) and try to paste it in Gedit or any editor.

Hopefully that helps?

Hello. Thanks for your reply.

The page you suggested is a tutorial on how to insert images in a document following LaTeX syntax.

To clarify the issue I am facing, a selected block of text in the tex file won't be copied to the system clipboard if you C-c it or even copy from the right click menu. What is actually copied to the clipboard is, in fact, U+0001. The expected behaviour is to copy the selected text instead of a single Unicode block.

I could not reproduce the problem in any other website, nor in any other browser.
