[Eterna JS] New copy function takes extra clicks

Eterna flash - one click sequence copy function

In Eterna flash, I can activate the sequence copy function by one click, and I will already hold the copied sequence in the memory. I won’t need to click any button to grab the sequence from anywhere.

Click 1: Call the copy function - after this you will already grabbed the sequence. 

Eterna JS - two click sequence copy function

Click 1: Call the copy function - you don’t hold the sequence in memory

Click 2: Click the copy button in the copy function to grab the sequence for memory

I would like the copy function for JS to work as it does for flash.

This was implemented this way due to some browser limitations (text has to be displayed/selected on secreen, and the copy has to be initiated by user interaction, e.g. a button click) - that said it looks like the current mechanism only sorta works and there might be some additional hacks that I can use to work around it. I’ll look into it.

I wish to bring this problem to attention again as I have a feeling it may be related to the problem with lab puzzle title and comment field having general dementia.

These are things that is working in Eterna Flash but has not been transfered to Eterna JS.
