Copy/Paste issue

When I select an outline from a glyph (lets say from the letter for “C”) and use CTRL-C to copy that outline then move to the letter for “D” and paste it with CTRL-V, FC15 pastes the outline back into the letter “C” and nothing happens in the currently selected glyph for “D”.

I was able to get it to work correctly again by SAVING my project file, closing FC15 and restarting.

Not sure what I did or am doing wrong here.

Using Font Creator 15.0.0.3009 and Windows 11

  • I can reproduce it with every Copy/Paste, which I can do only once before the behavior starts again and I need to restart FC15

We are not able to reproduce this issue. Do you open a glyph panel and select a contour and copy it to the clipbard, and then open another glyph panel?

The thing is… it doesn’t always happen…

The first copy/paste sems to always works… Subsequent ones do not always work and at times it is hard to reproduce, other times, not so much.


Are panels floating?
Do you use keyboard shortcuts, or menu items, or context menu (right-click menu) items?

I’m using CTRL-C and CTRL-V. No floating windows.

I may just perform a full uninstall and re-install and see if it makes a difference.

This sounds really bad.

I am afraid that won’t help.

Can we do a short zoom / meet session, so I can find a way to reproduce this?

I haven’t experienced this issue since I re-installed.

That is good to know!
