    Pressing Copy to clipboard button in FireFox doesn't place the code into the clipboard. And Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V approach has numbers in it. Can you either make Copy to work or have an option to turn line numbers on and off?

    Thanks.

    You'd have no way to know it, but that feature only works in IE.  After we update to the newer version of the syntax highlighter in 2 weeks or so, then we can review it to see what options are present and what we should remove.


    In the interim, you can just click "view plain", then copy those contents to your clipboard.
