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