Press [Enter] to copy the password
I press Enter in the Windows/Java version but nothing is copied to my clipboard. What is the mistake?

Give https://ssl.masterpasswordapp.com/masterpassword-gui.jar a try and let me know if it helps?

Same here with me, new version does not help. java --version under linux gives:
java version "1.7.0_65"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.3) (7u71-2.5.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)

Any luck with https://ssl.masterpasswordapp.com/masterpassword-gui-GIT-SNAPSHOT.jar ?

last "SNAPSHOT" runs fine again under:
Linux with:
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)
Thanks! :)

Doesn't work for me, either. MPW closes, but no copy in clipboard.

@bigbang - the last GIT-SNAPSHOT was reported to work by janimal. Are you having issues with this one?

As i have said: Doesn't work for me. Tried out on second PC with same Java version and the same result.

I am having the same problem, but no error pops up. It doesn't copy the password at all.
Windows 8.1.

This is still rather a mystery to me. Continuing to look into the issue. For now, the latest Java client will at least allow you to select the password in the field and copy it manually from there with Ctrl-C/Command-C/whatever it is your OS uses.

Thank you for putting up some kind of fix so it's still usable.

I have the same problem (Ubuntu 14.04, Java-Version of masterpassword, Java7).
The ONLY possible way to copy the pw ist hitting crtl+c. The app crashes if I press Enter. This is acceptable, but the pw should be cleared from the clipboard after a few seconds (like in Keepass).

Same here on Kali 2.0 and
Debian GNU/Linux 8.3 (jessie)
java version "1.7.0_95"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.4) (7u95-2.6.4-1~deb8u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.95-b01, mixed mode)
Pressing enter. App crashes. ctl+c works fine

What makes you feel the app crashes? If it is really a crash, there should be a stack trace on stdout. Paste it here. The app is designed to quit when you hit enter.

Using the latest released version on FreeBSD and Linux with Java 1.8 I can confirm that the app does not crash. It just closes upon hitting Enter. But the password is not copied to the clipdboard. I circumvent this by using the standard X procedure (select using mouse, pasting using middle mouse button).
However I find it very inconvenient that the standard behaviour for the app is to close after selecting a password via Enter. When running a password app on a desktop I have usually need for it several times a day or in a row.
Would it be acceptable to just clear the site information from the app but leave the app open until the user closes it? If yes then I'll have a look at the source and try to write a patch.
Many thanks for this application by the way. It rocks! :-)
Regards,
Jens

I want to second Jens' request to keep the appl open when copying a pwd.
To remove the site info is one thing, but the user should not have to re-start the program for every site login. Could the calculator be left open until user shuts it down? Maybe it could automatically switch to the master pwd prompt after a given idle period. I don't enjoy re-typing a pwd over and over, but let's at least eliminate program re-start.

The primary reason the app shuts itself down is to restore focus to the previously open application. I certainly don't mind keeping the app open. Perhaps there is even an alternative way to instruct the WM to switch focus from within Java.
