Synopsis: Trying to copy error message from Error List window crashes estudio
Description
Trying to copy an error message from the Error List window crashes estudio with
a call on Void target in {EB_GRID_EDITOR}.has_selection.

This should really be fixed for 6.4, if possible.

There will be no crash post rev#78796. However, this is not perfect fix until Vision2 solves the known problem.
