Issues with copy to clipboard extensions

I use gesturefy to make a shortcut to copy a web page url to clipboard by right-click and drag left. this works perfect in firefox/brace etc, but even though the text pops up to say it's activated the shortcutc, the url never hits the clipboard; same page in another browser it works fine.

I've tried Crxmouse, and any other mouse shortcut tools i coudl find; all of them behave like they are working, but don't; the only was that works is right-click "copy url" in opera itself.

Anyone else got this issue and is there a way round it?

Could be an Opera permission issue with how extensions access the clipboard. Check whether the extension has clipboard permissions and try testing it on a regular webpage rather than an internal Opera page. If it still happens with multiple extensions, it may be an Opera-specific limitation or bug.
