I just tried this on two PCs and one had the copy item when you highlight, the other had 'search' in its place. Initially they were different versions so I upgraded the one that was further behind. No difference. Went through the user settings, went through the registry settings and made them the same - no difference.

Now there is one BIG difference in that the "non-copy" version was running through Wine on Linux. I suppose they could be somehow detecting that but I think that if that were the case they'd do more than disable copy. IMHO there's either some hidden setting that's different, or it's a bug that causes the copy button to disappear, or some secondary effect of being on Wine. Since it also happens on Mac apparently I veer toward one of the first two.

For me personally this is not an issue as the reason I have it running on Wine is so I can import into Calibre via Alf's tools and so I can always copy from there if need be. To be fair though I'm reading fiction for pleasure, so whilst I highlight, I rarely copy.
