Regressions in the behavior of copying permalinks

I updated my Gitlab CE instance to v18, and it appears that there were some changes made to the behavior of copying permalinks that I would call regressions:

  • Pressing the y keyboard shortcut now only copies the permalink to the clipboard, and does not update the address bar / history.
  • If multiple lines are selected (e.g. #L1-3), only the last line is copied to the clipboard (#L3).
