Known
Bugs/Issues
- In version 2.00 and above, the paste hot
keys
do not work as they should in certain applications. For example, in
Word when you press the paste hot key, no text will paste, you must
also press [Ctrl]+[V] immediately afterward. However, in Notepad the
paste hot keys work normally.
- Sometimes Clipboard Magic will stop
archiving
clips. When this happens you will have to close down and then restart
the program to resume archiving.
- In Quatro Pro (Corel WP Suite 8) any
attempt to
copy to clipboard within QP yields error message: "Could not open
clipboard." This is a known issue at Corel, many other programs using
the clipboard also exhibit this problem. This appears to be a QP bug so
you should contact Corel about it.
- In some versions of Windows 95 and 98
when
Clipboard Magic is active and text is cut in MS Word 97, Word will
crash. Copying text in Word is OK. Opening the document in other
applications such as Wordpad and cutting text does not show this
problem. The problem is not evident on Windows NT. This appears to be a
bug in either Windows or Word, not Clipboard Magic. However, the
problem may be less severe in v2.00.
A workaround is to copy the text and then delete it instead of cutting
it. You can also simply disable clipboard archiving while Word is
running.
