Was able to right click and copy an item’s or someone’s name quickly from their ‘info’ box then paste it elsewhere before the last update - now you can’t and it’s a total pain to have to type stuff out.

I have the luxury of multiple screens, many don’t and I can imagine that having to keep flicking back and forth to see the usual random spelling of stuff a real PITA.

Just an alternative but you can drag the item / character into chat and copy the name from there. At least it worked like that in the past. 🤔

Thanks - that does work, but still a bit flummoxed as to why they’d change an obvious QoL thing.

This makes running intel way more tedious than it needs to be
