…h#1798) - Fix null check for segment start/end times before calling toFixed() When segments lack timing data (start/end null), display '—' instead of crashing - Fix recursive copyText function call in detail panel Rename local copyText to copyTextToClipboard and import the actual clipboard utility This was causing the copy button to infinitely recurse instead of copying text Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

|---|---|
| frontend/src/pages/Transcriptions.jsx | The null-safe timing display prevents the reported crash, but clipboard failures are incorrectly reported as successes and the fallback bypasses localization. |
| frontend/src/pages/Transcriptions.test.jsx | Adds the required clipboard mock, but its always-successful result does not expose the callback's incorrect handling of false. |

false, this callback runs the fulfilled handler and displays the copied toast even though nothing was copied. Check the resolved boolean so delivery failures display copy_failed.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe transcription page now calls the shared clipboard utility and avoids recursive copying. Segment time rendering displays an em dash when timing values are missing. Tests mock the clipboard utility. ChangesTranscription page updates
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The transcription page avoids the timing crash and recursive copy call, but failed clipboard operations can still be reported as successful, the new fallback bypasses localization, and the corrected copy behavior lacks regression coverage.

Handle a resolved copy failure.
frontend/src/utils/copyText.js resolves false when both copy methods fail, but this fulfillment handler shows toast.success for every resolved value. Check the resolved boolean and call toast.error when it is false.

Localize the missing-time fallback.
Move — into a translation key and add that key to all 21 locale files. The new hardcoded user-facing string bypasses the frontend localization rule.

Add a regression test for the copy flow.
Select a transcription, click Copy, and assert that the mocked copyText receives selected.text; also cover a resolved false result and the failure toast. The new mock is currently unused, so the recursion fix and failure handling can regress without coverage.

Summary
Fixes the crash reported in issue #1798 where the Transcriptions page crashes with "null is not an object (evaluating 'e.end.toFixed')" when displaying segments without timing data.
Issue Analysis
Selected Issue: #1798 - "[Bug] null is not an object (evaluating 'e.end.toFixed')"
Why chosen:
Root Cause Analysis
Bug 1: Null Reference in Segment Time Display
When the Transcriptions page displays segment timing data, it attempts to call
.toFixed()onseg.startandseg.endwithout checking for null/undefined values. If a segment entry has null timing data, calling.toFixed()throws "null is not an object" error.Location:
frontend/src/pages/Transcriptions.jsxline 291Fix: Added defensive null check before calling numeric methods:
Bug 2: Recursive Function Call
The copy button handler defined a local
copyTextfunction that recursively called itself instead of using the clipboard utility.Location:

Impact Assessment
Risk Level: Very Low
Affected Code Paths:
Backward Compatibility: ✅ Fully maintained
The Transcriptions page now displays “—” when segment timing data is missing and uses the shared clipboard utility without recursive calls. This prevents null-reference crashes and fixes copying from the detail panel. The main risk is limited test coverage for missing timing values and clipboard behavior.
