Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4470

How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker container

What happened?

The copy buttons in AnythingLLM are not working properly on macOS. This affects both:

  1. Copy buttons on chat messages
  2. Copy buttons on code blocks within messages

When clicking these copy buttons, the application displays a success feedback message indicating that the content was copied to clipboard. However, the actual system clipboard is not updated with the copied content. When attempting to paste (Cmd+V) the content elsewhere, the previous clipboard content remains instead of the expected copied text.

Expected behavior: When clicking copy buttons, the content should be successfully copied to the system clipboard and be available for pasting in other applications.

Actual behavior: Copy buttons show success feedback but fail to update the system clipboard with the copied content.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

  1. Open AnythingLLM desktop app on macOS
  2. Navigate to any chat conversation with messages
  3. Click the copy button on any message OR click the copy button on any code block within a message
  4. Observe the success feedback notification
  5. Try to paste the content in another application (e.g., TextEdit, Notes, etc.) using Cmd+V
  6. Notice that the clipboard content was not actually updated

System Information:

  • Operating System: macOS
  • AnythingLLM Version: 1.8.5
  • Browser: Safari and Brave

This issue appears to be related to clipboard access permissions or clipboard API implementation on macOS specifically.

Docker container
Browser: Safari and Brave

Not a bug, you are probably hosting the container over HTTP on a non-localhost domain - where standard browser security rules prevent clipboard access, and this is the case for any page, not just AnythingLLM.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard_API#security_considerations

The Clipboard API allows users to programmatically read and write text and other kinds of data to and from the system clipboard in secure contexts.

Other issues that are the same thing on this repo where we answer this:
#1781

#1509
