This problem was reported as early as 2016, maybe earlier. It has returned in Xojo2022r4.1
Select some text in the IDE. “Cut” it. Then “Paste”. Result: The pasted text is not the text that was cut. It’s whatever text was previously on the clipboard.

Mac Studio, Monterey. It doesn’t happen every session.
Same as reported in 2016
all of a sudden (it seems) Cmd-X doesn’t work.
It cuts the selected text, put instead of putting on the clipboard, it deletes it
if I do a Cmd-V the results are the last thing I copied…
so the only way I can get the same as Cmd-X … Cmd-V is
Cmd-C…Cmd-V (go back to original and Cmd-X)
very annoying… and if this is a known bug , then sigh… as I don’t have the $$$ to afford to upgrade this year
same as reported in 2018
Just updated to the latest version of the IDE (2018r2) and once again editing code in the IDE cut / paste is not working. Copy / Paste works. Cut / Paste does not work if other Xojo code was already on the clipboard. Searched and could not find this issue in Feedback, but I guess it’s there, so I’m asking here for the case number. Thanks.
reported again in 2020
I detected this:
In a method
select some code and copy (command-c) (say A)
then paste it (command-v) (A is pasted)
thats work ok
Then select some other code and Cut it (command-x) (say it as B)
then paste it, command-v, you get A not B
And if you are not very aware you put wrong code in the method.
As anyone experimented this?
I’ve a 30" video of the process, how may I post it?
It’s a real thing. Restarting the IDE does not solve the problem. It is seriously annoying.
On Windows 11 I see it, too.
It seems to get worse if 2 or more projects are opened and I copied and pasted some code from one project to another before.
Lack of available memory…
