Copy > OK in PermaLink box doesn't work

mywaytoo
Select PermaLink, and pop-up box appears... Really good idea!

But the Option button saying 'OK' doesn't Copy the address.
The address is already highlighted, so I had to explicitly Copy it (Ctrl+C).
This is important because the 'thing' that was last Copied remains in the clipboard and will be pasted instead of what was supposed to be copied... I posted the wrong thing onto Twitter... Good job I always check my links... LOL!

Good Point!

Being a fanatical CTRL-X, CTRL-C and CTRL-V user I instinctively use the appropriate keyboard commands, but it would certainly be better if that button caption was changed to "Close", and preferable that "OK" is retained and clicking the button not only closed the dialogue but also placed the selected text on the clipboard.

Hi,

the box is saying "Copy this: " so you would have to copy the link. But the two buttons, "ok" and "cancel", aren't making sense in this case, they do the same thing.
We have to do something.

Thanks for report this.
