Update CodeMirror

[tranzitwww]

Hi, Since the old ways the exporting scripts are gone, there seems to be another issue when someone tries to copy text from Greasemonkey editor window.
Evan editing it there is complicated, because, if I want to move a block of lines or a bigger function with cut&paste is not possible
Now it allows me to copy just a part of the code (more exactly 1055 characters), but never the whole thing.
Trying to do a CRTL+A and CRTL+C for a script larger than 1055 characters will results in having a clipboard with just one character "-" (minus).
It always fill the clipboard "-" for when trying to copy a larger text code, and this is frustrating because I just want to edit my own scripts and not to steal code from others (if is a security/privacy/copyright stuff)

I'm using Firefox 58 and Greasemonkey 4.2
Thanks!

Just copied 271323 bytes from a script by using Ctrl-A Ctrl-C without a problem (Win 8.1)...

I have Win7 64bit, but defensively that is not the cause...
Is there any other way to "extract" the script code from the editor or from firefox itself?

#2814 Doesn't include any export button...

Just wondered, because I never experienced any size limit.

In future, you can expect #2747 to help you. For now? I just wonder...

For sure, it will be nice to have a way to backup or export the script,
I saw that before posting this, but Copy/Paste was no included :)

I think it's a code mirror thing. If I remember correctly the hidden text field it uses doesn't always have all the text in it.

Might be and add-on or something that could help.

I experienced that to when I've tried to save the GM editor as a HTML page (or txt) from Firefox "Save Page as".
It just saves few lines, and everything that is bellow the screen (in the scroll bar) are missing.
But with copy/paste is different. If I exceed the 1055 bytes even if I select one more character from the same line, (not going more lines below) it will replace the clipboard with that "-" minus sign

It's a codemirror issue. I can find reports going back to years mentioning this odd behavior.

According to openstyles/stylus#225 the issue is resolved in 5.28.0+. We currently have 5.25.0 in our repo. An update may be what's required.

Thanks Sxderp!
It was related to that HTML object "Textarea" with its makeup scripts (codemirror)
Anyway a export/download button next to save wouldn't hurt :)

I think @arantius should do this. Mostly because it's part of a third-party library and I assume when submitting to AMO he needs to provide links to exact versions and whatnot.
