Clipboard Broken

Post by Mot »

The other day I noticed that a new WeBuilder version was available so I downloaded and installed it. (9.4.0.102)

It is now clear to me that programs external to WeBuilder cannot see what is copied inside of WeBuilder since that update. It is imperative that I be able to do this. Doesn't seem to matter whether I'm using the naked Windows Vista clipboard or my usual clipboard extender - ClipMate. Either way, external programs cannot see what's been copied inside WeBuilder.

Is there a way to disable whatever is blocking the outside world from seeing what's been copied inside of WeBuilder?

Short of that, where is a download link to the previous version?

Programmers live and die by their clipboard. I'm dying here! :(

I came across this problem as well. Sometimes clearing the clipboard works or restarting the program.

I had hopes that would work, too, but restarting everything had no effect.

I came across this problem 3 times yesterday and thought I was going crazy!!

Was trying to copy & paste some code into another program, but there was nothing pasting.

I highlighted my code in WeBuilder 9.4.0.102 and tried Ctrl+C, right-click and copy, and even Ctrl+X to cut, but whenever I switched to another Windows program nothing was ever pasted.

I could paste into another window within WeBuilder, but not to any other program.

I think it worked after I closed & restarted WeBuiler, and it's working at the moment.

Never had this problem in the previous version.
Windows XP Pro SP2
No external clipboard programs.

Cheers

CTRL+C and CTRL+V seem not to work when you copy some code into a new code snipit .

Clipboard is broken also for rapidphp 9.4.0.102, is there somewhere I could download the previous version to use until this is fixed?

Sorry, but I just can not reproduce the problem, so I can not fix it. I just launch the editor and it works. You can copy and paste in notepad or other programs. What am I missing? Can you copy from another program and paste in WeBuilder?

If you ditch the ClipMate, does it help?

In any case, it seems that implementing the "suggestions" from ClipMate that mwb1100 posted here:

might have actually made things worse and we will have to go back to the previous version of the code.

Ok, I have released an update and have fallen back to the old code, which might not be the best according to some "experts", but it should at least tear down the recent spike in the number of problems.

Check the version 9.4.1.103 and get back with the feedback, please.

What is more, I plan to implement a feature or switich that will allow to run the software in a "safe mode" with some features such as extra clipboard not working, but this might resolve issues for those few who have frequent problems with clipboard.

I've been having the same issue - the new version seems fine so far, after a couple of hours use - by which time the previous version would usually have broken copy...

thanks!

I will be working on the clipboard issue in-depth once again, so everything should get sorted out. If here is anybody who would like to lend a helping hand with testing (you must be one of those having zillion of problems with clipboard), pm me and I'll send you debug version.

It did, but as it was one step back to the old code, we still have the old clipboard problems present. So am still not over this.
