Hi all,
this is with the Sep 1st snapshot on Win 11, but I'm also seeing this on
another Win-11 machine with the Aug-26th snapshot. Not sure when it started.
I cannot use copy&paste, e.g. in the script editor. No error, but also
no action. "Sometimes" it also affects clipboard usage in other apps
such as the built-in notepad. In those cases it seems to help to close
gretl. Right now after a restart of the computer the clipboard works in
notepad, however. (But not in gretl.)
I can confirm that. Back in July I made a change to the Windows
clipboard code in response to a report from Brian Revell. It turns out
that change was misguided (it's a rather obscure API), but nobody
reported a problem with it at the time. It's now fixed in git and
snapshots.
