Preview-46 is the broken build.

Does not happen with Schema Synchronization but does happen with Schema Compare

Hi Fung, I attached a patch to fix the issue. I disabled the transfer handler since it is not useful to copy unformatted table content to the clipboard.  Should we desire this feature, we should add a button like the other panels to explicitly copy formatted data to the clipboard. Please have a look. Thanks, Tom

I did not try your patch. By looking into your patch, it might resolve the problem by disabling data transfer handler but it does not seem to address the root cause of the problem.

The root cause of the problem is: there is a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException exception has been thrown which usually indicates some object is not implemented correctly.

I briefly debugged the problem by setting a break point at line #264 in CTreeTableScrollPane

#261    for (int col = 0; col < cols.length; col++) {
#262        // #710 HACK
#263        // data comes from both tables
#264        Object obj = getTableValueAt(rows[row], cols[col]);

This break point will be reached by either "Schema Compare/Schema Compare Results/Group by: Type of difference" or "Schema Synchronization/Schema Compare Results/Group by: Type of difference" when CTRL-C is pressed.

If you examine the cols variable when break point is hit, you will see the length of cols variable is 7 in both "Schema Compare" case and "Schema Synchronization" case. In UI, "Schema Synchronization/Schema Compare Reuslts" table contains 7 columns which match the length of cols variable; however, "Schema Compare/Schema Compare Results" table only contains 6 columns which is 1 less than the length of cols variable. Hence, in the for loop iterations, the last iteration will throw an index-out-of-bounds exception for "Schema Compare" but not "Schema Synchronization". I did not spend much time on this and my study could be wrong. You might want to take a look at this and corresponding objects created by Schema Compare.

svn #53451 - I shut off the transfer handler to disable Ctrl-C - copy to the clipboard for the no group and diff  panels. This is low cost and will minimize breakage. Additionally, copying un-formatted data from the panel to the clipboard has no value. That said, I will open up a V19 issue to follow up with Fung's  valid concern about the underlying cause of the exception.
