So, is it just me, or is Copy and Paste acting up in IE
lately? I'm seeing this on mutliple machines not even running the same OS, but half
the time when I copy something from a web page via Ctrl-C, it doesn't take. I have
to go back and copy it again.
It's enough to make a guy switch to another browser.
I've noticed that also - though only when I'm about to paste into a Microsoft Office application before I've opened it. :)
ReplyDelete1) I see something I need to copy and paste
2) I select and ctrl+c it
3) I open an MS Office app
4) I paste it and see some bogus icon, swear to myself, repeat step 2 and 3, then it works.
I've seen it in regular text boxes, too. IOW, it seems to be the cut, not the paste, that's screwed up. But I can't replicate it consistenly.
ReplyDeleteI think I found out what I was doing wrong. If you're still holding the mouse button down when you hit ctrl-c, it doesn't copy. That blows, but it's repeatable - try it out.
ReplyDeleteI can copy but not paste???

I am having this problem with any app, even notepad.
ReplyDeleteif i put some text into notepad and copy it i can hold CTRL and hit V repeatedly, there's a point when the text stops, i.e the clipboard empties.
This might well be the single most annoying occurence yet!...
