"Copy link" does not work in Safari 12.1

+2
−0

I am using Safari Version 12.1 (14607.1.40.1.4).

Whenever I want to copy a link using the "Copy Link" button, it does not work and throws this error in the console:

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'navigator.clipboard.writeText')

Further info here:

Error in console

It works well to me in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Thanks for the report -- will investigate.

Declined per mattbrent's answer. Safari 12 is unsupported; if it's easy we could've done it anyway, but I've had a look and it's not.

@ArtOfCode OK. Now I no longer use that version, and this works well in Safari 14. In any case, Safari 12 is not so old, it was shipped on March, 2019.

That's... pretty old, in browser terms. We support the current and previous major versions of each major browser, so Safari support is 13 and 14.
