Copy/Paste issue

Post by pwillard »

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?
