Cannot copy the name of an image in Bridge.

Sometimes I need to copy the name of an completed image in Bridge to use for another image. Until recently I could just right-click on the image, select rename, highlight the words and right-click to select copy, that no longer works. When I now right-click, it deselects the highlighted words. I can highlight words and  copy in any another document e.g. this message. I have the latest version of Bridge and my Windows 11 is up to date.

Thanks again but it doesn't solve my problem. Yes, it selects the file name, no problem before with that, but when I highlight the text that I want to copy, and then right-click to select copy in the menu, what happens now is that it deselects the text, and no right-click menu.


So don't right click? Command/Control-C or Edit->Copy.

Thanks Lumigraphics, but there are multiple Bridge options associated with this key but not copy? Being an OAP, I could do with more of a how to if that is possible. 

Cheers

 

Thanks

Thanks again. Edit - Copy did not work. After highlighting the text and clicking Edit it deselected the text. However, the usual Control-C did copy the text and pasted ok using Control-V. I use this for my document Copy/Paste but have always used the method as per the original problem. So many thanks for your patience and help.
