HotCakeX I've been checking each Edge Dev update to see if copy was working again. It looks like as of version 80.0.345.0, it is working again.

I'm checking on Edge canary Version 80.0.352.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) and it's still not fixed..

I guess I'll be checking next week's update for Dev (if it's the 352 canary version) to see what it does for me. I know I went probably a month of two not being able to copy passwords. Now it's working on this version (345).

  On Canary 352, after revealing password and double clicking on it, the password is highlighted ?
  put your mouse cursor at the middle of the password, then double click.

    Well, here's something. I still have Edge Dev version 80.0.345.0 and I said how I was able to highlight the password on that version. Now I can't highlight it any longer. And it's after I installed the latest Windows 10 build 19037. When I had 19035 installed with this Edge Dev version, I could highlight the passwords, but with 19037, I can't.
