Copy and Paste
Question

Hi guys,

There seems to be an error with the Ctrl C and Ctrl V key combinations. Also right click and copy.

Is anyone else facing the same thing as me?

Could you please explain what exactly the issue is ?

I think you're referring to OutSystems Studio. I'm facing the same issue as well. Clearing the clipboard each time seems to be a temporary workaround, and that's how I'm managing it for now.

Hey @Huy Hoang The 

I also faced this issue but when I restarted Service Studio it automatically resolved. It is not very often. Sometimes it happens.

Thanks,

Sudip

Hello @Huy Hoang The 

I faced this issue before, and in my case it was related to the version. I updated to a previous version, and the problem was resolved.

Maybe some unusual interactions with the clipboard's history content. 

I thought I was going crazy that my copies weren getting processed, swapped keyboards and computers and the issue was still happening, so decided clearing the clipboard and it does solve the problem until it starts happening again. 

So as @Sheikh Mohd Fahad suggested earlier in the thread, clearing the clipboard is the quickest way to get this settled.

hi @Huy Hoang The , hope you're doing well.
This issue can sometimes occur in Service Studio, where the copy and paste functionality starts behaving unexpectedly. You can try restarting Service Studio or rolling back to a previous version, as that may help resolve the problem.

Thanks & regards!

This started 1/2 years ago, it becomes worse by how much time you have the studio open, restarting helps. (Might not be related to the time itself, but something you do in the studio that stacks and causes the problem)

But I must say is quite annoying to SPAM Ctrl-C to be able to copy something

Happens also in O11

I’m facing the same issue. It seems related to keyboard shortcut or browser event handling, especially with copy/paste actions.

Hi @Huy Hoang The 


Facing the same issue from last 1 month like copy (ctrl+C) and paste (ctrl+v) is not working even when we try to copy by right click. 
This may be a bug with the updated version. Better to rollback to the previous version or we can connect with the Outsystems MVP's to raise this concern.

Hi @Huy Hoang The,

This issue appears to occur only when copying and pasting text. As a workaround, I found that closing the Expression Editor, reopening it, and then pasting the content resolves the problem consistently.
