David, that is quite enough. Tell me where I should even go looking. Don't just say "it's wrong, fix it." Xiphos is not part of the equation. There is text in a window, and that's the end of Xiphos' involvement in what you're doing. After that, it's Windows-internal choices (and bugs) interacting with hypercomplex web page input boxes. Bear in mind that, to see this go wrong, one must have this complete intersection of circumstances: - Windows - Firefox - copy via Windows-specific ^C, not via Xiphos' own copy/export (which works just fine, thankyouverymuch). - surfing a web page whose input boxes are governed by hypercomplex javascript crud. It takes *all* of those to make it go wrong. Again, Xiphos' involvement ends at displaying text. There is nothing more Xiphos can do about it. ^C: Windows function, NOT A XIPHOS CHOICE. ^V: Windows function, NOT A XIPHOS CHOICE. Xiphos is not in the operational path. As another test, I just went to my WinXP VM, started Word 2007, typed "This is a test" at a blank document, mouse-swept it, hit ^C, pasted it with ^V into a Firefox input box at Facebook. Result: http://karl.kleinpaste.org/.../crud-paste.png Gee, howzaboutthat. Huh. Waddayaknow. It's a mess. Though there is no actual Chinese, there is nonetheless a whole pile of "LidThemeAsian" and "UseAsianBreakRules" and so forth. Notice the raw VOLUME of text that was pasted into place, as indicated by the scrollbar fraction on the right. Even better: Start Xiphos, nav Gen 1:1, mouse-sweep, copy with ^C, go to Word 2007, paste with ^V. Result: http://karl.kleinpaste.org/.../crud-paste-2.png Gee, howzaboutthat. Huh. Waddayaknow. A totally clean paste FROM XIPHOS. So now I've demonstrated FAILED paste from an application OTHER THAN Xiphos. And I've demonstrated SUCCESSFUL paste from Xiphos to places OTHER THAN hypercomplex javascript browser input boxes. Ergo... Tell it to Windows, Firefox, or Facebook. I'm tired of hearing about some supposedly heinous Xiphos bug that is utterly out of our control. Whether you're personally "satisfied" with the answers is your problem, not ours.
