Copy button in code block is tiny if no language label is specified

[ggs]

Steps to reproduce

create a code block

Expected result

live preview of the block while cursor is outside of block shows copy button

Actual result

copy button is teeny tiny

Hovering over it long enough shows a tooltip, but text is otherwise invisible.

Environment

• Operating system: Windows 10

Verified exists in sandbox

Tiny indeed

If you name the block anything, the copy area expands.

```css

```

```latex

```

```ggs

```

My personal workaround, when not using any other specific definition:

```copy
it works
```

Reproduced here too. MacOS.

Want to have the copy button for all the code block.

Only have the copy button for the code block which specified the language.

Also, can I have the copy button when I editing the code block?

Seconded. In Live Preview, blocks without a type don’t have a copy button in the corner.

(Or more correctly, they do have the button, but the text is blank so it’s impossible to find with the mouse )

CSS snippets can make the invisible button appear, but it’s still not ideal.

.markdown-source-view.mod-cm6 .code-block-flair {
  min-height:2em;
  background-color:var(--background-modifier-cover);
  border:1px solid var(--color-base-40);
}

EDIT: Oh, never mind – in live preview the copy button is invisible. I don’t use live preview a lot, so I didn’t see it. Sorry about that.

The copy button is showing for me now in v1.0, even with untyped code blocks.

Is it possible you have a theme, snippet, or plugin interfering?

[scruel]

Yes, it exists, however it’s really too small to do the copy action…
IMO, just add “Copy” text at the position of top-right of the code block will be better:

will be fixed 1.1.14

It appears a new bug may be introduced by this. In live preview, it now shows the language, but in reader view it only shows copy.

In live preview, it now shows the language, but in reader view it only shows copy.

it was like this even in 1.1.9
