When disabling an Editor's .target.surface (by calling .disable()), the text is no longer editable, which is great. However, the text in the disabled Editor cannot be copied and pasted. It does not appear to make it to the clipboard. Desired behavior is that the text can be be copied even when the editor is disabled. Or perhaps there could be a setting/option around that. We traced this to ve.dm.Surface.prototype.changeInternal, where it returns immediately if the surface is disabled. if ( !this.enabled ) { return; } I found this here: https://doc.wikimedia.org/VisualEditor/master/source/ve.dm.Surface.html#ve-dm-Surface-method-changeInternal I'm using OSX Mavericks and Google Chrome Version 36.0.1985.125.
