Showing all conditions and then make the selection misses the point. From the user's point of view, they don't know nor care about any hidden conditional text. All they see is the H2, which they want to copy. If there is a conditional tag preceding the H2, and the user selects the entire H2, why should only the hidden conditional text be copied into the clipboard? Forcing the user to reveal conditional text to select visible text is a workaround.

I still say bug.

I discovered this problem by searching for the string:

Verifying Network Connectivity

FM found the string in the TOC, so you'd think it'd find it in the body of the document no problemo. But it did not find the string in the body of the document. I have had this experience more than once. This too may be a bug, IMO.
