Copy & paste failed, really slow

Post by CAsba » Wed Jul 26, 2023 2:37 pm

Hi,
Just in the past couple of days the Livecode (v.10) has been really slow, to the point that the captions 'ask dialog' and 'answer dialog' are visible for half a second or so, before the dialog box shows, and the copy and Ctrl - V does not make a duplicate of a field or button. Yes, I was also forced (by microsoft) to get a Windows 10 update, but copy and paste works fine in Excel. I just used Windows - V to monitor the clipboard, and the Livecode copy option fails to put the copied text/etc on to the clipboard. So far, I have cleared the clipboard, re-installed Livecode 10 and restarted the computer, all to no avail.
Any ideas what else ?
A clue ! Copy (and paste) works in the edit environment, but still not working in the IDE.
Another 'Clue' ! Error messages are headed 'RevErrorDisplay' and are not editable within the message.
Another 'Clue' ! Ctrl - S does not save

CAsba, do you mean with the pointer tool but not with the browse tool? Those are both in the "IDE".

See this:https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?t=36325 It may not mean too much.

Why would anyone save anything in Windows?

Now that was unkind.

I wonder what the breakdown would be by country or age group.

I have seen LC lose its keyboard shortcuts. The only thing that fixes it is to restart LC. I have never seen an error message though.

Are you using the edit tool when it fails? Try switching to the browse tool and see if that helps.
