Copy/paste functions only work intermittently.

Windows 8; FF 26 -- not working: cut & paste -- not always. I've noticed that copy is greyed out on the edit menu so I can't even do it that way. I have to drag the selected text.
I don't have zone alarm or any of the other things other people have installed. Is there a solution to this yet?
Thank you.

Hi lotusgreen!
Are you unable to copy/paste only in Firefox or is it the same for IE and Chrome?

The copy/ paste function not working after OS 8 upgrade

I use FF 368 on vista and daily my copy/paste function quits working until I reboot FF. I have re-installed FF several times. How can I fix or download FF 3.5 ? All I can find is FF 368 to download

I allowed the FF update to 368 and FF has malfunctioned since then. I would like to re-install FF 3.5 but only 368 seems to be available to download.

Copy & Paste problem stops working

I've been experiencing an unusual issue with the copy and paste function on my MacBook Pro. The copy & paste function appears to work fine after I've restarted the computer, but after a short period (can be hours or days) the copy & paste function stops working. Instead of copying the highlighted section (usually I'm copying text) when I go to paste the text, all I appear to get is one space. As I use this feature countless time in the run of a day (copying from mail, Daylite, NeoOffice, Text Edit...)this is turning out to be very annoying.
I have recently re-installed "MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.11Intel.dmg" to see if that made any difference, and everything seemed to be working great for about 5 days, then the same issue started again. If I shut down and re-start my Mac, it seems to offer a temporary solution to the issue.
I have not tried re-installing the operating system.
Thanks in advance.

Amazingly, I found this looking for a fix for the exact same problem. Mine started today, though it could have been yesterday as I don't remember using copy or paste yesterday.
The one change I have made in the last 48 hours is that I installed the MS Office SP 1 update that just came out. I know it was working right after that update because I was using copy/paste in Word.
The other difference I've found is that a restart doesn't seem to fix mine. I just restarted and still no copy/paste - just a single space instead. And you're right, it doesn't matter what you copy, it always pastes just a single space.
I've tried CMDC/CMDV and the menu items to the same effect.
I hope someone has an answer.

Copy and paste function stopped working?

The copy and paste function stopped working on my laptop (ibook g4, OSX 10.3.9). It does not work in any applications, tried MS word, safari, preview.
How do I recover this function?
Thanks.

Hi Magno2002
Your Finder may have lost contact with the clipboard, so try this.
In ~/library/preferences locate these two files and trash them
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
To re-establish them, log out and log back in again.
You will need to reset your finder and sidebar as you had them before.

Copy & Paste Functioning Incorrectly

All of sudden, the copy & paste functionality within Dreamweaver has gone crazy. Each time I try to highlight some lines of code to copy to my windows clipboard, the entire file gets selected. Or if I am finally able to get to a couple lines of code selected, once I hit Ctrl + C the entire document gets highlighted and copied to the clipboard.
How do I fix this issue and revert back to normal copy & paste behavior?
All other windows apps work fine. This is only happening in dreamweaver.

Well the only way I have figured to overcome this is to do a "find" on any string immediately after downloading the document. For what ever reason that action relieves my mouse-drag and my directional keys from doing weird things. DW is a really nice tool

User presets for copy/paste function.

User presets for copy/paste function?
During an edit session, I am constantly switching to, and from copying: crop (only), and copying everything except "local adjustments" and "basic tone". I use a few other combinations as well. Switching between these involve a lot of tedious (& error prone) checking and unchecking of boxes. A preset option of some sort would help here.
What I do is edit one photo (in a string of similar photos), then copy it. Then select similar photos and auto sync them with the paste command, In an action sequence, the crop often needs to be done separate. Also the lens profile & calibration needs to be pasted separate if I happened to be switching between two camera/lenses.

Hi,
I can't tell. What I can tell is that the code in the sample you reference for sure doesn't cause this - but it doesn't help you I guess.
Btw.: Here is a solution that works on all browsers. The solution in the blog (Chris - please forgive me) is a bit awkward to be honest.

Calling Javascripts with a panel then prevents copy/paste functions in Photoshop CS5

Hi,
I have a simple panel in Photoshop that calls a Javascript when a button is pressed.
I have a simple script that does some Duplication of layers and a bit of simple image manipulation.
I run the script from the Extended Toolkit and eveything works fine.
I run the same script from the Panel and the script runs fine; but then the copy / Paste functionality of Photoshop is broken.
I have to close the Panel window or run the script from the toolkit to get the functionality back.
EDIT: I have not narrowed this down to simple interations with the Panel can casue this issue - clicking on icons, switching `Tabs` etc...
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Cheers,
Pete

Hi,
I created a simple panel that only had a button that calls an external JavaScript.
Even if I simply click on the panel a few times, move it around etc without executing the script, I can get the copy paste error. It happens 90% of the time and interestingly it only happens on the currently active document.
The only way to get the functionality back is to close the panel.
It seems to be a focus issue, but as I'm not calling any script in this case - where could I put the Bridge Talk command?

How to add cut,copy,paste functionality ?

Hello everybody,
I have to add cut,copy,paste functionality to my RichTextEditor for which I have already added
buttons to editors toolbar,Now I want to add these three functionalities to my editor.
Can anyone tell me or provide me some code sample for it ?
Thanks

Well Thank you for your response,What I am looking for is ,the user should be able to copy,cut and paste the selected text anywhere,
(e.g.If user selects the text and clicks the COPY button on the RichTextEditor , he can copy that selected text into notepad or any other editor or any other place in the system)
I have written the code for copy and its working properly
System.setClipboard(richTextEditor.selection.text);
I was wondering how to write the code for cut and paste.
many thanks again

Copy Paste doesn't work during and after a remote login session

Hi
I am using a Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 laptop to login into Linux. I am using Putty and Xming to SSH and view the desktop. Whenever I start a session the copy paste functionality gets disabled in my laptop,i.e., I cannot copy text from one text
file to another or within the same text file. The copy paste doesn't work even upon closing the connection.
From what I have gathered it is not possible to copy from one computer(host) to another(guest) during a remote login session but I am not able to copy within my windows laptop.
Is there some setting that I need to change to prevent it from happening? What are the possible solutions?
Thank You
Rishabh

Hi,
Are you able to copy and paste in the putty session, with mouse or keyboard?
Using PuTTY
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.52/htmldoc/Chapter3.html
Please restart your PC to check whether you can get back the copy and paste function. It can be caused by some compatibility issue.
Please also run "sfc /scannow", check if it find and fix any errors.

IPad 2 has slowed down copy paste is not working it hangs when filling in user name , please do something to solve all these problems ,Apple please wake up

IiPad 2 has slowed down with ios8 copy paste is not working it hangs when you try to fill up forms ,Apple engineers you need to do something fast

Apple engineers do not participate here. Have you updated to iOS 8.1 which was just release yesterday? Have you done any other troubleshooting? If you haven't start here.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
Now close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If those three things made no difference, try this. Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
If all of that fails, restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad before you restore, then restore the backup when you are done. If that still doesn't help, restore your iPad as new and start all over again. Most purchased content can be downloaded again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID and as long as the content is still available in the store.
