Description Niklas Laxström 2012-04-07 20:10:57 UTC 
I don't like flash, and it drains my battery.

There is no other way (yet) to add something into the clipboard. This is used for the automatic "copy" buttons in Gerrit. See also:

Comment 2 Niklas Laxström 2012-04-09 07:48:05 UTC 
Personally I would gladly copy manually (I haven't ever used that feature in gerrit) instead of reducing my battery time as far as 50%.

Possible workarounds:
* turn flash off
* use adblock for all <object> tags
* stop using gerrit while using battery
