is there any way to do a bulk copy xml to clipboard for multiple windows?  
I tried selecting multiple windows, and shift+right click to copy xml, but that only gets the first window all the time.

@victordcq does this actually work for you ? I just tried it now, and I am still getting the same result.  
I noticed the number of lines pasted is always the same as the first window(within the selected windows)
