Actually what happens (check my video at my post) is the highlighted text copied normally but soon after it disappears and replaced by Whitespace msg.

severalI quite oftem into the situation, that a Clipboard Cut operation indeed cuts out highlighted text, but leaves a written X in place, as if the Ctrl wasn't properly filtered out. The cut text, however, isn't in the clipboard – it doesn't paste, and it doesn't show up in the Clipboard history either.

In this case, all I can do is undo the clipping step in the source document and try again. I can recall serveral dead ends, where I simply could not get Ctrl+X to work. Is this also known?

Sorry, I wasn't aware of the protect-mechanism. Haven't seen such in forums before. Now hopefully visible.

I hadn't checked clipboard history, but you are correct, see screenshot. What is the best cure when this happens? I have to admit that I also dislike a lot when this happens.

Copy and paste is so fundamental – if it doesn't work, everything you currently do is severely hampered – and it, of course, happens when you need to send something out in two minutes...

It's helpful to know what this is. Does the defect go away when I close CF?

Its the well known "White space" bug

I am still a relatively new user of CF, but I have used Ditto before.

With both apps I sometimes run in situations I cannot recall having, when just using "Vanilla" Windows clipboard: Sometimes the Clipboard seems to be dead – Ctrl+C does nothing and there's nothing to paste.

Is this known or even expected? What should I do in this event?
