If you have a bookmark, and you click the 3 dots to drop down the menu, then hit "Copy Link" nothing happens. The menu remains up and the link is not copied to clipboard. Tested in firefox and safari. Latest version 0.17.1

The following error message is available in the console output: "Uncaught TypeError: navigator.clipboard is undefined"

you are not on https then, this is a browser limitation.
could be grayed out maybe, but this is not fixable unless you switch to https

Copying to clipboard doesn't work unless you're using https. Are you using https? I think we can probably show a better error message if you're not

You are both correct, I just tried with https and it worked. Thanks!
