Copying Feedback Comments

[sgonzalez]

While interacting with my school's Canvas access on the web using the Chrome browser from my office desktop, I cannot copy the contents of a text box containing feedback into another text box on student-submitted work.

I often find myself typing the rubric contents for every student because I cannot copy and paste them into a feedback text box.

While at home on my Mac laptop, accessing my school's Canvas on the web using the Chrome browser, I CAN copy and paste within feedback textboxes. 

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi @sgonzalez,

I'd honestly ask your work IT department if they have any restrictions in place on the work computers.  As you said, it works on another computer just fine, so I don't think it's a Canvas issue, but something with your work device.  You could try disabling any browser extensions in use to see if that makes a difference, but beyond that things would get very specific to whatever software is on the system.

Hope this helps a bit!
