VE should work as expected without clipboard access. Currently it only half initalises. 1. Install Kill Evil in Chrome or similar 2. Edit any page (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kill-evil/epieehnpcepgfiildhdklacomihpoldk) Result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Missing-ui-ve.png
That's more likely caused by the "getSelection and onselectstart/onmousedown" part of that extension.
That too ;-) Making the bug more general. Hopefully VE is able to be at least partially functional without all those fancy things.
This isn't a fancy thing. You can't do things like bold the selection if you can't access information about what is actually selected.
When 'Kill Evil' addon exists, there are two failures to load modules, and then an exception which halts the VE initialisation half way. Module 'WrappedSelection' failed to load: Module 'WrappedSelection' failed to load: No means of selecting a Range or TextRange was found rangy-core-1.3.js:105 Module 'Position' failed to load: required module 'WrappedSelection' not supported rangy-core-1.3.js:105 Uncaught TypeError: Object #<WrappedSelection> has no method 'refresh' rangy-core-1.3.js:3035 WrappedSelection rangy-core-1.3.js:3035 getSelection rangy-core-1.3.js:3084 ve.ce.Surface.showSelection ve.ce.Surface.js:1325 ve.ce.Surface.onChange ve.ce.Surface.js:747 oo.EventEmitter.emit oo.js:421 ve.dm.Surface.change ve.dm.Surface.js:402 ve.dm.SurfaceFragment.select ve.dm.SurfaceFragment.js:448 ve.ui.Surface.initialize ve.ui.Surface.js:81 (anonymous function) ve.init.mw.ViewPageTarget.js:1098 proxy load.php?debug=true&lang=en&modules=jquery%2Cmediawiki%2CSpinner%7Cjquery.t…%7Cmw.MwEmbedSupport&only=scripts&skin=vector&version=20130725T023359Z:775 in ve.ui.Surface method initialize, the following invocation should probably be skipped if those rangy modules have failed to load. // By re-asserting the current selection and forcing a poll we force selection to be something // reasonable - otherwise in Firefox, the initial selection is (0,0), causing bug 42277 this.model.getFragment().select();
Sorry for very slow triage.
