Octave 5.1.0 no longer supports copy of figures to clipboard

In Octave 5.1.0 (the latest as of today) ,I can no longer copy figures into the clipboard (I'm using 64 bit octave on win 10). I came across this bug report, that describe the issue but haven't found any fix. Is there any known fix or workaround to this problem ?

Solution

Default graphics toolkit in Octave 5.1.0 is "qt" now. qt graphics toolkit does not have "copy to clipboard" feature. You can change graphics toolkit to "gnuplot", which have this feature:

 graphics_toolkit ('gnuplot')
 plot(1,1)
