Copy-Paste Hyperlink Bug?

Hi,
My current work task requires I input a hyperlink from a web address into a cell, and repeat this a few thousand times. I've done this now several hundred times over, on two computers. I've observed that after a long series of repeatedly 1) moving the cursor
to the cell in which I want to place the hyperlink and 2) pasting a working hyperlink, my Excel sheet ceases to automatically turn new pasted URLs into hyperlinks. I must manually enter them into the formula bar to get the same result. As you might imagine,
this is a time-consuming extra step which slows down my progress toward completing this data set. Note that 1) I have done nothing to change the "auto-hyperlink" settings in my excel file, and 2) this event has happened with two different computers
using Excel 2010.
This question was asked in a different form here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271856/en-us), however the article did not explain why copy-pasting hyperlinks has stopped functioning or how to resume functionality. Many thanks in advance if you know the
answer.

Hi,
Based on my tested, if I copied the whole cell which include a hyperlink and pasted to a new sheet, it worked well (Open the hyperlink in browser directly). If I only copied the hyperlink, it pasted as a text. Microsoft Excel does not interpret these
text values as hyperlinks (Such as copy/paste the hyperlink content) unless they are typed from the keyboard. When we type an entry in the worksheet that begins with any of the following prefixes, Microsoft Excel automatically creates
a hyperlink:
http://
www.
ftp://
mailto:
file://

Thus, I recommend we select the cell not only the hyperlink during copying/pasting.

Safari Update 4.1.2 Bug ? Copy/Paste URL

Safari 4.1.2
Hi all,
when I copy a hyperlink from Safari's address field and then paste it into Apple Mail or Eudora it is not pasted as a hyperlink but as plain text. In particular, I noticed that URL's that do not start with "www" are pasted as text, not as hyperlinks.
Doing the same with Firefox works fine, before the update Safari 4.1 also worked flawlessly (in this regard).
I have noticed the same behaviour on all our Macs (10.4.11, Safari 4.2.1)
It is obvious that this problem is related to the latest update Safari 4.1 -> 4.1.2.
Thanks for all your suggestions how to fix this.

HI Robert,
Go to the Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache...
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference.

IOS 5 Copy/Paste Bug

Since updating to IOS 5 (both on iPhone 4 and iPad 2), I can no longer copy content from some web pages. This almost always happens when displaying .htm pages. IOS will allow ou to select the content and will go through the motions of copying it, but when you go to paste the information anywhere none of the data copied is pasted.

Somewhat similar issue with my ipad2 after upgrade to ios5.I cannot copy/paste the URL address in landscape position with home button on the right. If I rotate the ipad to portrait positions (either side) and landscape with home buttion on the left, it works fine. And when it is working, like I can copy, then after awhile the safari browser website will crashed. The keyboard will comes up and down, up and down..... the search engine will slide in and out, in and out........... the bookmark wll slide in and out.... and immpossible to control the page ..... it will not response when i tap on any part and just have to switch off to stop. Anybody knows what is happening? got a bug? Any fix? Please help...........

InDesign CS4 & IDML & Copy & Paste Bug

Hello, i have build an InDesign CS 4 document with javascript; like this //HelloWorld.jsx //Create a new document. var myDocument = app.documents.add(); //Get a reference to the first page. var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(0); //Create a text frame. var myHelloTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.add(); //Specify the size and shape of the text frame. myHelloTextFrame.geometricBounds = ["6p0", "6p0", "18p0", "18p0"]; //Enter text in the text frame. myHelloTextFrame.contents = "Hello World!"; var myStory = myHelloTextFrame.parentStory; myStory.trackChanges=true; myStory.insertLabel("innerText1","dbkey2211"); var myInnerTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.add(); //Specify the size and shape of the text frame. myInnerTextFrame.geometricBounds = ["6p0", "30p0", "18p0", "42p0"]; //Enter text in the text frame. myInnerTextFrame.contents = "ziemlich sinnfreier Text"; var myInnerStory = myInnerTextFrame.parentStory; myInnerStory.trackChanges=true; myInnerStory.insertLabel("innerText2","dbkey3322"); //Save the document (fill in a valid file path). var myFile = new File("/c/HelloWorld.indd"); var result = "saved to: " + myFile.fullName; if(!myFile.parent.exists && !myFile.parent.create()) { result = "Not saved. Unable to create the folder: " + myFile.parent.fullName; } else { myDocument = myDocument.save(myFile); } //Close the document. myDocument.close(); result; so i get the "HelloWorld.indd" file ... so far so good. Now i load this in InDesign and export it as IDML. I get for example this story <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <idPkg:Story xmlns:idPkg="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/idml/1.0/packaging" DOMVersion="6.0"> <Story Self="ue0" AppliedTOCStyle="n" TrackChanges="true" StoryTitle="$ID/" AppliedNamedGrid="n"> <Properties> <Label> <KeyValuePair Key="innerText2" Value="dbkey3322"/> </Label> </Properties> <StoryPreference OpticalMarginAlignment="false" OpticalMarginSize="12" FrameType="TextFrameType" StoryOrientation="Horizontal" StoryDirection="LeftToRightDirection"/> <InCopyExportOption IncludeGraphicProxies="true" IncludeAllResources="false"/> <ParagraphStyleRange AppliedParagraphStyle="ParagraphStyle/$ID/NormalParagraphStyle"> <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]"> <Content>ziemlich sinnfreier Text</Content> </CharacterStyleRange> </ParagraphStyleRange> </Story> </idPkg:Story> so far so good ... now i package them with "package -c HelloWorld Hello.idml" and load this document in InDesign ... at following i do some copy & paste actions and export the result to IDML and get this story ... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <idPkg:Story xmlns:idPkg="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/idml/1.0/packaging" DOMVersion="6.0"> <Story Self="u186" AppliedTOCStyle="n" TrackChanges="false" StoryTitle="$ID/" AppliedNamedGrid="n"> <StoryPreference OpticalMarginAlignment="false" OpticalMarginSize="12" FrameType="TextFrameType" StoryOrientation="Horizontal" StoryDirection="LeftToRightDirection"/> <InCopyExportOption IncludeGraphicProxies="true" IncludeAllResources="false"/> <XMLElement Self="di3i8" MarkupTag="XMLTag/Root" XMLContent="u186"> <ParagraphStyleRange AppliedParagraphStyle="ParagraphStyle/$ID/NormalParagraphStyle"> <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]"> <Content>ziemlich sinnfreier Text</Content> </CharacterStyleRange> </ParagraphStyleRange> </XMLElement> </Story> </idPkg:Story> what the hell ... and find 2 differences TrackChanges="false" <--- in the original this was true and the label has lost. <Properties> <Label> <KeyValuePair Key="innerText2" Value="dbkey3322"/> </Label> </Properties> so i think InDesign CS 4 have a bug in the copy and paste facility; only the content will be copied but all additional infos are lo

Hi Bjoern,
I'm not sure that InDesign ever really copies a story, just the text in the story. Since the label and the track changes setting were associated with the story itself (and not with the text in the story), they didn't survive the transfer from one story to another.
It may depend on how you copy/paste--I'd expect the above to be true if you copy/paste with the Type tool, but I'm not sure what happens if you copy/paste all of the text frames in a story using the Selection tool. It may be that the label is maintained in that case.
Thanks,
Ole

Copy/Paste/Edit menu bug. Anybody else seen this?

I have a project with an imported stereo wav file on track one. It is about 8 minutes long, 44.1k. I am trying to copy small regions of this track and then paste those into track two and make these little pieces real audio clips. (Thanks again to Bee Jay and Jim Frazier for the help with that!) In this example I use the Marquee tool to highlight a 2 measure section of track one and from the Edit menu I select COPY. Then I select track two and move the playhead to the location I want to paste the copied clip.
Now, when I click on the Edit menu to select PASTE the drop-down menu is gone! However, to restore it I found a way. Minimize Logic, then maximize it again and the Edit drop-down menu has returned ! Very strange.
This has got to be a bug although not too serious. But it is very annoying having to minimize/maximize Logic just to get the drop-down menu back especially since I am using this copy/paste function a LOT. So it makes it very time consuming to have to do this. And it happens every time for me.
I sent this in to the feedback of Logic but wondered if anyone else has seen this?
Thanks,
Greg

Yes - I had this today for the first time in fact!
The Edit menu title was still in the bar, by when you clicked on it, the edit menu was completely gone and didn't drop down (the rest of the menus were fine). A weird one. I found it amusing for a couple of minutes until I got it back again (I've no idea how I did it) and it hasn't happened since.
Another one for the buglet files, methinks...

Copy/Paste Layer Style Bug

Really, you guys didn't fix the copy/paste layer style bug in 13.0.2. Wow, easily reproduced, there is an adobe recommended workaround, meaning very aware of the problem, and couldn't fix it for this update, very sad Adobe, very sad. Can you let us know when this will be fixed?

The 13.0.2 update was targeted to fix one specific bug. It was not intended to be a general bug-fix update.
We are testing a fix now for the layer styles bug and others, and we intend to include these fixes in the next general update, which is currently slated for release in less than two months.

Bug: Copy / Paste from Clipboard. Issue on HTML build.

Bug: Copy Pasted from the clipboard. On export to HTML, some of the graphic references got confused. Replaced 4 image with the 3rd and 4th no where to be found.

While there isn't a unique number displayed with each pasted item in the Assets panel, Muse does append a number to the image file name on export to maintain unique names on the exported site.
As noted in my reply to your other thread, please export from scratch to an empty folder and verify the behavior. Thanks.

Copy/paste bug

Hopefully this isn't a repeat (I've been trying to keep up with this group, but boy it's active!)
There seems to be an issue with copy/paste (or perhaps my case is not supported). Try the following:
1) run a report (I ran the datafiles listing)
2) click on a cell
3) hit CTRL-C
4) go to a worksheet and hit CTRL-V
I get a CR and some spaces instead of the cell contents.

I tested this and can copy over text data fine but when I tried it with numbers, I get nothing. That was just from Reports. When I copied text and numbers from the results of a Worksheet into the Worksheet both worked fine. I will log a bug. Thanks for letting us know.
-- Sharon
p.s. I tried this with a variety of reports and even had trouble with cells containing text. Added all the details to the bug.

Copy/Paste Bug (Chinese Characters Added)

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure what is going on but recently, when I copy/paste something on my MacBook Pro, running the latest Mavericks, it sometimes appends some weird Chinese characters at the end of it. It will only show up sometimes and only in certain programs (such as copying URLs).
This worries me very much for some obvious reasons. I don't have Chinese enabled, the characters are not always the same, and I have absolutely no idea why it is doing this.
Any suggestions? Is this some weird but known bug? Am I the victim of some sort of spyware? Any suggestions as to what I should use to try to track this down? A quick google search turned nothing up.
I would demonstrate the bug here but it isn't currently reproducing the problem. As I said earlier: It's rather intermittent.
Any help or suggestions would really help me out.
Thanks.

I doubt anyone can help without a screen shot of what you are seeing. Come back when you have one. In the meantime I would not worry, it is most likely some kind of encoding glitch. You don't have to "enable" a language to have it displayed on your screen, OS X automatically does that.

Possible bug with Notes (in Mail) with copy / paste

Has anyone else experienced this...
From time to time the copy / paste does not work properly. When I copy some text with command-c & place the insertion point at the end of line somewhere else in the document & press command-V, the text will be inserted in the line above.
I am not certain of the precise pattern to reproduce the bug, but try this...
1) Open an existing note document within mail...
2) Copy several lines of text & paste somewhere else in the document
3) Then type some text at the end of one of these lines
4) Highlight & copy that text
5) Move insertion point to the end of the next line
6) press command-v
7) Text does not get pasted to the right location, but to the line above
I running Lion 10.7.2
Thanks

No, each of the two subpanels calls a different VI. Try it!

BUG: Copy / Paste settings

This bug has been reported in various forms. But I'd like to chime in.
I'm finding that the set of develop settings I copy are not pasting correctly onto other images. Sometimes settings I have NOT checked are pasted; other times settings I HAVE checked are being pasted. The bug does not seem to be related to the specific combination of settings checked and unchecked. Particularly I've found that copy/pasting UNCHECKED white point settings will not paste. UNCHECKED crop will paste. It's quite frustrating. I have not found a work around.
I am using LR 3.2 RC.

Mark, you can report this here. This would be most helpful. This forum is now mostly for user help rather than technical issues.

Copy/paste - bug/odd behavior

I am getting an annoying behavior from the workshop IDE, when i do
copy/paste.
I often double-click a word and then press CTRL-C. I can do this as well
in workshop. But the behavior is VERY odd, when I do it with normal
working speed.
Say for example this code:
<code>
Line 1: String str = null;
Line 2: If ( str != null)
Line 3: str = "workshop is odd";
</code>
If I do double click and then CTRL-C on "str" in Line 3. Then my cursor
moves up to "str" in Line 1, and on the clipboard is the full Line 3.
Except from the movement of the cursor, a copy of the whole line I would
only expect from a triple-click and it should as a minimum mark the
whole line.
In this example it is not so bad, but if my line 3 was line 99, it gets
very annoying.
If I do it "slowly" it behaves correctly or as expected.
Is this expected behavior of IDE?? - Because this it definitely not my
expectation.

I doubt anyone can help without a screen shot of what you are seeing. Come back when you have one. In the meantime I would not worry, it is most likely some kind of encoding glitch. You don't have to "enable" a language to have it displayed on your screen, OS X automatically does that.

Copy paste text between documents bug

Hi
When I copy paste styled text (text or text containers) between CS6 (or CC) documents, the language for the text changes to a wrong one (from Finnish to English: British), along with the spelling of course. The style does follow correctly to the fresh new document, but ID makes an exception to the style for this pasted text (Style1+). The transferred style itself still has the correct language defined.
Doesn't happen when copy pasting within the same document.
All default languages are correct (default and within styles). Deleting preferences did nothing.
Anyone else has this? Any suggestions on how to correct this. I seem to remember there was something like this ages ago too.

Thanks Uwe
• New user: no help.
• Save as or IDML: no change, same problem.
• Snippet: language does remain correctly Finnish!
• ID5.5: no problem at all! Language remains correct.
So, this is my persistent problem:
• Any text with a style on it becomes (as a local exception to style) wrong language when copy-pasted or dragged as a whole page between docs.
• The styles them selves transfer correct. Clicking style for each paragraph again sets the correct language (but the original local adjustments are lost).
• No style has [Basic Paragraph] as a parent and [Basic Paragraph]'s and the general default language are Finnish, too. The wrong language (English: British) is not used anywhere.
• Text with no style remains correctly Finnish (target default).
• IDML: same problem. Save As: same problem.
• IDMS: language remains correct.
• Trashing preferences doesn't help.
• New user account doesn't help.
• Effected versions: ID CC (9.1 fi), ID CS6 (8.0.2 fi). CS5.5 (7.5.1 en) is not effected. System is Mac 10.8.5 (fi).
• CC has no extra plugins. CS6 and CS5.5 have Suitcase (F4) plugin only as extra.

Numbers - Can't paste hyperlink into written-in cell

Hi,
When trying to paste a website link into a cell with writing in, all other text is deleted from the cell, and only the link remains.
I am already double-clicking on the cell and making sure my cursor appears, so the paste should not be overriding all content as if i just highlighted the cell.
Any helpers out there? This is really annoying, thanks.

Hello
I think it's bug of Numbers. As far as I have tested, Numbers erases existing cell contents as reported when pasting hyperlink in clipboard which is represented by data of types public.url and public.url-name. It is the case when link is copied by, e.g., Safari or TextEdit. Meanwhile, link represented by data of type public.html is pasted properly without destroying existing contents. It is the case when link is copied by, e.g., Firefox.
A workaround is to convert link representation in clipboard. You may try running the following AppleScript script before pasting the link in Numbers cell. It is a simple wrapper of RubyCocoa code which converts link representation in clipboard. You may invoke it from script menu when saved as compiled script in ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Numbers directory or service menu when saved as Automator service in ~/Library/Services directory.
Tested with Numbers 2.0.5 under 10.6.5.
Hope this may help,

Can't get Typekit to work with localhost (also, another weird issue with copy+paste)

Hi!
I've searched through the other posts already, and I *think* I've tried all the solutions, but I still can't get the typekit fonts on my machine.
I'm trying to use the "orator-std" font. In the "kit editor", in the "kit settings -> kit settings" tab I have for name "localhost" (w/o quotes) and for domains just "127.0.0.1" (w/o quotes).
Then (AFTER saving the settings from that tab), I go back into edge animate, I start a new font by clicking that + sign next to "fonts", in the "library" tab. I set the "font fallback list" to ' "orator-std",sans-serif ' (w/ quotes, w/o single quotes), and then go back to the open browser and go to the "embed code", copy both lines of javascript, go back to edge animate, and... nothing. It won't let me change ANY text in this box anymore after the window loses focus. I have to press "cancel" and try again. So this time, I just type in the orator-std... blah blah, same as last time, but paste in the code successfully as it was already in the clipboard and I didn't need to make the window lose focus. Okay, so I click "Add font", and apply the font to my text. Nothing happens.
Huh... well the "Font's from T" picture is showing up in the bottom right of my screen, so that's odd. I go to preview in chrome, still ugly old sans-seriff there, also with the "Font's from T" logo in the bottom right.
I figure "okay, probably just takes a second... or a minute... or w/e like the message said." Well this was at least an hour ago, so something is still wrong.
I would love to just delete the font and start from scratch... maybe something got screwed up along the way and it would fix things to just start from scratch. Well... "sorry" says edge animate... can't let you delete that! In the "libarary" tab, there's only one font visible, it says "orator-std,sans-serif" (w/o quotes). If I right click it, the only option is "delete" and it's greyed out.
I tried doing one with arial instead of sans-serif just now, still not working, but everything shows up in arial now instead of sans-serif... so that's something I guess.
Apologies if this is just a simple problem that I'm just somehow not grasping. Please accept this legitimate bug report as payment... the er copy paste bug, I mean...
Thanks!
Trevor

Hi Trevor,
I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. Typekit can be used locally. However there are some necessary steps that if left out, will cause the fonts not to render. In order to use Typekit locally, you've got to:
1. Be running a local server when testing your site in the browser. You can tell if you're running a local server by the URL of the local site. If it starts with: file:// then you are just viewing the local file in a browser and not running it from a local server.
If the local URL starts with: http:// then you're running a local server.
2. The domain of your local server has to be part of the domain list in your Kit. So, if your local server uses: localhost, you'll need to add this to your Kit's domains.
I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us directly: [email protected]
Cheers,
Benjamin
