Can't paste in to chat - Spark 2.6

Hi,

Since upgrading to Spark 2.6 I’m unable to paste anything in to a chat. It worked fine in 2.5.8 and downgrading shows it still does.

Anyone else notice this and have a fix?

Simon.

please post detailed bug reports:

  • What were you trying to do?

  • What were you expecting?

  • What OS do you run on?

  • What Java version

attaching a pic of proof that Copy&Paste works

(Einfügen = Paste in german)

Wolf,

  • What were you trying to do?

Copy text in to a chat window

  • What were you expecting?

Copied text to be pasted in to chat window.

  • What OS do you run on?

Windows XP SP3

  • What Java version

6 update 22

I don’t think I’ll attach a pic for proof, that is a strech too far. I get no right click menu whan trying to paste and ctrl-ins or ctr-v doesn’t work either.

Thanks,

Simon.

What skin are you using, do you have modifications, what plugins are running, etc…???

besides Paste is “shift-ins” not ctrl-ins


Do you have spellchecker enabled?

the spellchecker overrides the Rightclick menu, with its own, so disable the spellchecker in preferences and the rightclick should work again

Wolf,

Sorry I meant shift-ins, brain not fully engaged when typing that.

It seems it was the spellchecker stopping it. Turned it off and I can now paste, though not with shift-ins only ctrl-v and the rightclick menu. I wouldn’t have thought of turning off the spellchecker to get copy/paste working.

I hadn’t turned it on, the default was on. Maybe it should be turned off on install, or some warning that having it on stops copy/paste should be shown?

Thanks a lot Wolf.

Simon.

copy paste via Keyboard works for me even if spellchecker is enabled, really weird

but im glad your problem is resolved
