Last time copy to text from Wireshark doesn't work. For example I can't copy packet to text using following options:

  1. Right click -> Copy -> Description ---------------> Nothing is copied.
  2. Right click -> Copy -> ...as Printable Text ---------------> Nothing is copied.
  3. File -> Export Packet Dissections -> As Plan Text ---------------> Empty file is generated.

Please suggest

3.2.1.4500 is an old development version of Wireshark, please use a release version, e.g. the current stable 3.2.3.

What are you actually right-clicking?

Sorry... did update to 3.3.0.4607 and solved the issue (validated with right-click copy/Description

Note that 3.3.0 is still a development version. You need an "even" number for a release version, e.g. 3.2.x, 3.0.x etc. See the wiki page on Release Numbers for more info.
