# Objective
Fixes#54250
`editor: copy file location` copies the row you're on in the
multi-buffer, not the row in the actual file. In a git diff view with
collapsed lines it copies the wrong line number.
## Solution
It read the rows straight off the selection, which is in multi-buffer
coordinates. `ClipboardSelection::for_buffer` already handles this with
`range_to_buffer_range`, so I used the same thing. Path and line now
come from the same buffer.
`range_to_buffer_range` returns nothing when the selection ends in a
different buffer than it starts in, which you can do in a git diff view.
Rather than copy nothing, it falls back to the cursor's buffer.
## Testing
Three tests: a multi-buffer excerpt, a selection dragged across two
files, and a plain single-file editor. The multi-buffer ones fail on
main; the singleton one passes either way, so normal editors are
unaffected.
