What is the deal when for instance in the body of the text in this post I am not able to copy and paste? It seems to happen radomly. Sometimes I can sometimes I can't.

Yikes, that is annoying - I use copy/paste all the time and unsure what I would do with out it.

What are you copy/paste from?
Does it work in quick reply, but not 'advanced' modes? vice versa...

Do you have WYSIWYG editor in your USER CP settings? Did you accidentally switch from WYSIWYG to 'source' mode? (top left button in advanced mode)

Which browser are you using?

Any additional details might help us find a solution. Sorry for all the crazy questions.
 
I am trying to copy past from quick reply usually but it happens in the advanced reply too.

I have the enhanced inteface activated. Full WYSIWYG Editing.

Using IE9

Windows 7 Professional
 
We have not had others step up with the same concerns. I will look at the bug reports to see if this a known issue.
 
People still use Internet Exploiter? :shock:
 
For any browse, MS Word, etc:

Select the text that you want to copy

Hit CTRL+C (this copies)

Select where you want to past the text

Hit CTRL+V (this will paste)


You can also use this to Copy and Paste links, etc.
