ClipboardService.SetText (from TextCopy) can throw if the clipboard is locked by another process. Any unguarded call site crashes the client. All client-owned call sites are now protected; XNAUI submodule calls cannot be modified.

What Changed

  • GameLobbyBase.cs — extracted the two bare ClipboardService.SetText lambdas (Copy Map Name / Copy Original Name context menu actions) into dedicated private methods CopyMapNameToClipboard() and CopyOriginalMapNameToClipboard(), each wrapped in try/catch (Exception) with a user-facing XNAMessageBox error dialog on failure
  • GlobalContextMenu.csCopyLink() was already protected; no change needed
  • XNAUI submodule (XNATextBox Ctrl+X/C/V, XNAListBox Ctrl+C) remains unguarded — out of scope for this repo
private void CopyMapNameToClipboard()
{
    try
    {
        ClipboardService.SetText(Map?.Name);
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        XNAMessageBox.Show(WindowManager, "Error".L10N("Client:Main:Error"),
            "Unable to copy map name to clipboard.".L10N("Client:Main:ClipboardCopyMapNameFailed"));
    }
}

Test Result without Your PR Applied

Pressing Ctrl+C on a listbox item or selecting "Copy Map Name" from the map context menu while the clipboard is locked by another process throws an unhandled exception and crashes the client.

Test Result with Your PR Applied

The same operations catch the exception and display a non-fatal error dialog instead of crashing.

Pull request overview

This PR aims to prevent the client from crashing when clipboard copy operations fail (e.g., clipboard locked by another process) by guarding map name copy actions in the multiplayer game lobby UI.

Changes:

  • Replaced inline clipboard-copy lambdas in the map context menu with dedicated private methods.
  • Wrapped clipboard copy operations in try/catch (Exception) and show a non-fatal XNAMessageBox on failure.
Suppressed comments (1)

DXMainClient/DXGUI/Multiplayer/GameLobby/GameLobbyBase.cs:892

  • CopyOriginalMapNameToClipboard() shows the same error text / localization key as CopyMapNameToClipboard(), so users selecting “Copy Original Name” will see an incorrect message (“map name”). Use a distinct string/key for the original-name action.
            catch (Exception)
            {
                XNAMessageBox.Show(WindowManager, "Error".L10N("Client:Main:Error"), "Unable to copy map name to clipboard.".L10N("Client:Main:ClipboardCopyMapNameFailed"));
            }

Since this crash cannot be easily reproduced (but it exists), and the modification is small enough, I will merge it without testing the client
