Seeing how it functions I doubt it would use the OS clipboard. It isn’t just
copying/cutting text. It also re-assigns the anchor split to the new account
you paste it in. So this is certainly held in an internal ‘clipboard’ of sorts
until pasted.
I would say the feature is much more
Working with release 2.6.19 in Ubuntu 18.04 I also noticed that the
transaction copy or cut action does not use the clipboard there either. I
didn't have time to test pasting, however.

Thanks for your replies, also to David T, your way of moving a transaction
had not occurred to me before. I'll try that next time.
I figured the copy/paste would work more easily, hadn't occurred to me
that it was for going between different files.
I'm just curious where GC stashes the

Sorry for any time wasted or misdirection on my part. I re-read your original
and subsequent posts and realized you were moving a transaction within the same
book.
I’ve only ever heard this feature used in reference to moving/copying
transactions between two open files, so I errantly
I never cut and paste whole transactions either. I’ve always just re-assigned
one of the splits. (either via jump if I’m changing the anchor split, or
rarely, using the Journal)
I thought this function was used more for copying or moving transactions
between two open files, so I’ve never

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try to remember that.
I've been using gnucash for almost a year and I'd never seen it before tho I
don't cut/paste whole transactions very ofte
intermittently on W10 on a previous laptop and
now on this one too. Maybe it's a W10 issue.

This is another aspect relating to the behavior of GnuCash under the
general subject of pending edit. See <

it is also mentioned in <

Check my answer in the other thread with the same subject line about anchor
accounts. That is where the 'problem' lies.

Perhaps the clipboard is not picking up the ‘cut’ but GnuCash is still removing
the data.
Anytime I have a pasting problem I always test in a plain text editor to see if
that is the issue.
