paste msicode

Post by kurtth »

I moved IA NX V8 to another machine and all works except paste in MSIcode.
Copy works as expected. When pasted into Notebook it shows the IA internal info for the copied lines.
In the IA MSIcode editor Paste (ctrl-V) does nothing.
Is there some setting that disables paste?

Thanks

Dear kurtth,

it doesn't exist any setting that controls ctrl-V ... it's really strange.
did you try if are still usable the corresponding buttons on top menu in MSI view?

It's the same for Ctrl-V, the Paste menu button and the Paste link in the right-click menu.
Copy works in all these ways as I can check with pasting into Notepad.
I did a Repair install but to no effect.

Dear kurtth,

Honestly, it never happened to me a similar issue.

Anyway, doing a quick Google search I found:

The mentioned article describes paste failing in all applications. In my case it fails only in IA. It works in other applications.

I found that the issue is related to Microsoft Internet Explorer (V11). If I close all Internet Explorer instances then paste works in IA as expected.
With Internet Explorer (or Chrome V35) running, paste in IA stops working.
It's inconvenient but at least I can work with IA by closing all browser instances.
Thanks
