Can't cut/copy & paste any names

[AudioGuy]

Is anyone else having trouble cutting/copying & pasting info into the meta data box?

I can copy but when I right click to paste the choices are all greyed out and it will not let me click on any of them...

Same thing happens when I start a new song and try to paste a title of a song...

I just downloaded the latest version of SP8 and that's when I started having trouble...

I am also running win10pro...

Any/All help will be appreciated...

No problem here on a Mac, can you show some screenshots or a video of what's not working with the paste options?

is Ctrl + V working?

Happened to me as well several times, also in the export window - couldn't paste the track name and when right-clicked in the name field the cut/copy/paste were greyed out, unavailable. Neither CTRL-V nor right-click didn't work. This seems to happen completely random.

Is happening here as well and it's random.

Three things to check:

1. What do you have in the buffer (Ctrl-C)? Is it text, or an object, or a file, ...?
2. Is the intended destination field/area compatible with what you have in the buffer?
3. Did you properly select that destination field/area?

1. Text (copied from a text file, can paste it anywhere else, like in a browser or a text editor).
2. Yes, trying to paste text field in the export window.
3. Yes, obviously.

Sometimes, randomly, it just doesn't work. Haven't had that issue ever before in Studio One/Studio Pro, it has started since v8.2.0.

Text copied from other apps may contain metadata which prevents it from being pasted into 'plain text' fields. Some apps are smart in treating such a paste as a 'paste unformatted text' or a 'paste and match style'. Maybe SP isn't smart that way.

Even the Windows Notepad? If so, why it was working before?

I would concentrate on the randomness. Is it really random (as in try again and eventually it works) or is a particular copy simply not working no matter how many times you try? Because in that case there must be something in that copied text which is incompatible with the text field in SP.

One issue may be line breaks. The two most common operators to move to a next line are CR (carriage return) and EOL (end of line) but there are more. One may be a hard return and another the result of running out of space on the previous line. One may just start at new line and another may start a new paragraph too. Copying text with a line break in it can cause unexpected results, depending on the type of line break and the app the text was copied from. We all know that copying text from websites may highlight much more that just the intended lines. Some destinations will interpret that some way or another, and other destinations will flat refuse the copy. SP may do the latter.

So when you hit a copy snag again then copy the snippet to an app that allows you to inspect hidden characters. It may be the same character(s) blocking the copy every single time. And of course try to copy that text to a previous version of SP too, to see if something really changed between versions. That would help the developers too.
