Re: LC Bug: Clipboard Polling Failure
Me: > BTW, I have a potential user workaround I was almost afraid to mention that: sure enough, LC bombed out after I did! :D So to be clear, this will NOT solve the issue. (User workarounds are only bandaids at best.) Disclaimer: This LC bug needs a real fix. It locks up the clipboard, and perhaps any user copy/paste could trigger it. The end-user has to restart your app to paste again. But...this may help A LITTLE with A FEW use cases, especially IN-HOUSE workflows where YOU are the user. Disciplined user workaround: I am manually copying info from a web browser and LC works on the clipboard contents. Previously the LC clipboard would hang often, so I had to restart LC 2 or 3 times a day. When creating the test stack and bug recipe, faster clipboard access helped trigger it. So I tried making my manual copying actions slower and more deliberate: more time after and between selections to copy, etc. "Slow Is Smooth, and Smooth Is Fast." Results: Now I have to restart LC every 2 or 3 days. A bit better. (Disciplined users only!) :) Best wishes, Curry Kenworthy WordLib: Import MS Word and OpenOffice files in LiveCode!

LC Bug: Clipboard Polling Failure
Latest LC Clipboard Bug: LC Clipboard Polling Failure. This bug makes the LC instance unaware of clipboard text copied in other apps. Failure triggers on Windows and Mac; looks like both platforms need a fix. On Mac, the clipboard resets a few seconds later. But on Windows, you may have to restart LC. I haven't found a workaround yet. Here's the bug report: https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23507 Some good progress on LC Clipboard Bugs lately; the crashing bug I reported has been fixed. Hope this Failure to Read Clipboard can be too! Thanks Best wishes, Curry Kenworthy WordLib: Import MS Word and OpenOffice files in LiveCode!
