Cut and Paste sometimes not working in memoQ Thread poster: Nico Wagner

Hi everyone! Over the last few days, maybe a week at most, the Cut and Paste function (Ctrl+x) in memoQ sometimes doesn't work in a very annoying way: The selected text is removed but not copied to the clipboard, so I can't paste it afterwards. I have been working extensively with memoQ for many years now, but this behavior is completely new to me. Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas on how to resolve it? Cheers, Nico | | | Possible security software interference | Mar 3, 2021 |
It could be that security software interferes. I believe it happened with Webroot SecureAnywhere. There was a setting in it that I needed to change. | | | Nico Wagner Portugal Local time: 13:05 English to German TOPIC STARTER No security software installed | Mar 3, 2021 |
Hi Thomas, Thanks for your quick reply. I don't have any security software running except for the native Windows Defender. Best, Nico | | |

Hi Hans, Thank you for the screenshot. That may indeed be the problem, since I recently activated the clipboard history in my Windows 10-installation, and the problem started occurring right around that time. I'll deactivate it and see what happens, although it is frustrating to see that this is another long standing issue that memoQ has ignored for quite some time now... Thanks again for your help! | | | Adieu Ukrainian to English + ...
There's some definite iffiness. Also, undo doesn't necessarily work. Stick to Ctrl-C Ctrl-V. And maybe keep an open notepad window to check with if you're moving large chunks that you definitely don't want to lose. | |

Hi there it's not exactly the same situation, but maybe it can be useful to debug (I hope) Since years I use WinAutomation 6 to query Archivarius that contains 1 gazillion of reference data, and I had CTRL+C not working or working badly for years I tried different keyboards with no success I got mad googling for and trying fixes until today when "I Have Seen the Light!" (cit. Blues Brothers) I dropped a 10 ms delay in my first WinAutomati...

(cit. Blues Brothers) I dropped a 10 ms delay in my first WinAutomation 1st step (while I had 10 ms already in the last step) and now CTRL+C works like a charm So maybe that "timing" is the culprit in your case, and a way to delay the copy action can be find I hope it helps
