Hi,
from time to time I gave the IDE 2.X a new chance to look at it if IMHO 2.X offers improvement over 1.8.19
My actual question is: all content of the serial monitor to the clipboard.
In IDE B.1.0 this marks the source-code instead of the serial monitor-content.
I know in IDE 2.1 clicking into the serial monitor and then start marking with shift-ctrl end marks
copying works only for the visible part of what is shown in the serial monitor even if everything is marked
it is becoming worser and worser
What is the visual feedback about autoscroll beeing on/off?
best regards Stefan

The button that switches it on/off
I think (not testing that now) that if the background is gray (like the timestamp button next to it) it is locked and if it's not gray it's not locked; but not sure.
This might depend on the theme that you have selected. In the dark theia theme (I think it's still selectable by directly hacking a configuration file somewhere) there is no indication.
And yes, there have been requests to make it a lot clearer.
The Arduino IDE developers are tracking this bug here:
opened 05:58AM - 19 Jun 22 UTC
topic: code
type: imperfection
topic: serial monitor
### Describe the problem
When selecting text on the serial monitor (with the … connected device paused) upon scroll the range of the selection shifts in unpredictable patterns (at least i didn't see a reproducable pattern) which prevents selecting more then one page of the output. As of #812/#105 using ctrl+a is also not an option to select text in that tab.
As i do not have the problem of new text triggering a redraw which removes the selection, i do not consider this a duplicate of #812/#105, but feel free to correct me.
### To reproduce
* print multiple pages text on the serial monitor once e.g. in the setup() function.
* when all text is received select a bit of it
* scroll the output up and down a bit
### Expected behavior
The selection should stay between the first and last selected characters, and not randomly jump around.
