It gets a little worse.

1. With a dataset loaded, select one or more series in the main window, right-click, and select "Copy to clipboard".

2. Choose ANY of the four choices given in the small window that pops up, for "separator for data columns".

3. Click "OK" and gretl crashes.

We've discovered a bug in the recent 2020c release. It's maybe not very likely to get triggered but if it is then gretl will surely crash. This is now fixed in snapshots. But here's what NOT to try in the current release:

1. With a dataset loaded, select one or more series in the main window, right-click, and select "Display values".

2. In the data window that appears, click on the third button from the left in the button-bar at the top ("Copy"). This lets you send data to the clipboard.

3. A little dialog appears, to let you choose the format for the copying. If you select anything OTHER THAN "plain text" and click OK gretl will crash.
