Copy/Paste does not work

Post by erikhans08 » Fri Jul 15, 2016 3:31 pm

Copy/Paste does not work. The exception is copy/paste inside the script editor.
I just reinstalled Windows 10 from a downloaded .iso image file which is supposed to keeps both files and applications.
LC 8.0.1 Community (Stable) just installed. The problem was inherited from 7.1.4 after the .iso rebuild.
Thanks, Erik Hansen

FWIW I just tested and I can copy and paste objects within the IDE, and can copy plain and styled text from LC fields to WordPad.

However, I was using 8.1dp2 (I don't currently have 8.0.1 installed). Perhaps the issue you experienced has already been addressed in the new build?

Please give 8.1dp2 a try, and report back here how it goes.

"Please give 8.1dp2 a try, and report back here how it goes."
It went very well. One quirk: in the Dictionary right-clicking on selected text did nothing. In the Edit menu most choices are deselected. Of course you can't change the dictionary, but is there a problem with Copy? This is my first time using a non-stable version and it is thrilling!
