Hi,

I have never experience anything like that in any other application.

I am trying to move some code from .cpp file to a .h file and it does not happen.

To make it work I have to copy the code from the .cpp and paste it to an outside notepad file and from there again copy it and paste it to the .h file I want to move the code.

The direct approach from .cpp to .h does not work.

I do not know if that is a bug or a matter of my OS.

Also I cannot copy and paste in the same file too.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.
Nejnio

Do you have recent version?

In past, I have fixed some issues with clipboard which were caused by well known race condition inherent to Win32 clipboard system. Symptoms were most visible with terminal sessions or WMWARE running (because it has caused some delays when putting data to clipbpard). That was about 10 months ago, but perhaps well past last year's release...

nejnadusho: What OS are you on??

I don't recall ever having a problem copying from the U++ IDE to notepad, an Eclipse IDE for Java or anywhere else, it goes into the clipboard.

Unless you have a real old U++ it could be a problem with your OS.

The daily build is now 5494.

The more you use U++ the better you will like it.

Yes, upgrade to the latest daily U++ build.

With Win7 there should not be a problem with copy/paste.

Just rename your current upp directory upp5390
Download the latest Nightly build and install

After you select the text when you right click on it your mouse needs to be a little higher on the line than usual or your selected text will lose the selection.
Try that first.

edit: The U++ devs might consider changing the center of the mouse icon for the pick point to the tip unless there is a reason not to. Very Happy

Hi,

I already experienced things like that but I think the problem was only in one direction (don't remember which one).

There also some other similar problems like drag and drop which works only with some browser on linux :

The code has been changed for the cursor to be I rather than an arrow. Good, that way it is intuitive to have it centered rather than the end of the arrow point.

Unfortunately I am s till having that problem of not being able to copy/paste between windows in U++.

It is quite a bit frustrating because I have to use other apps like Notepad++ to go around that problem.

It occurs after working for a while.

Not sure what triggers it yet.

Will keep you posted.

Best,
nejnio

I have to admit that I suspect there is still some problem with Win32 clipboard code, sometimes I have feeling that Ctrl+C does not work as it should, but then I am typing quite fast with occasional mistypes, so I have attributed it to that...

Plus, no of my real users ever mentioned that (which, now thinking about it, could mean that it could be theide specific)...

Anyway, my symptoms are not as sever, it is more like perhaps one of 20 Ctrl+C pushes does not copy data to clipboard...

If I was able to reproduce the behaviour consistently, I guess fixing would be matter of hours at most...

Mirek,

From my experience with copy/paste in U++ I believe that the problem is not in copying on the clipboard but pasting from it on the same application(U++).

The reasons for what I believe in are that I am able to copy from U++ to any other application, but to another page( or even on the same page)in U++. As well as I am not able to paste into U++ anything from any external application.

I am trying to figure it out. So far no luck. No pattern = No repro! Sometimes happens sometimes not. But if it stops pasting, that is it. It does not start again until pc is restarted. However, even if the pc is being restarted still no guarantee that will be able to paste in U++.

Hope this is helpful.


Best,
Georgi


P.S.
Mirek, I observed another issue, in my opinion not important.
Where should I open a thread for it? Where should I report it?

Really weird. Any special software installed?

Mirek,

On the non important issue.

In win7. When the upp app is docked on the task bar, if you right click on the app icon on top appeared the most recently used/launched projects.

Well, I believe that while I was using upp 5390 those recently launched projects were updating.

Now with 5495 they were updating to some point and then stopped updating and when I removed the entire list, this list never appeared again.

Best,
nejnio

P.S. I need some time to check what software I have on my pc.

Mirek,

Very Happy Well at least I know now that this must be a feature of win7.

About the software on my pc...

Well I have tons of applications installed there. A random sample of them are: Adobe suit, Wireshark, SecuritySoftware, Visual studio2010&2012, Python, ... etc.

I assume this vague list is not very useful and if you believe it will be helpful I will make an effort and give you a complete list.

Let me know.

Best,
nejnio
