Hi all: I am using Ubuntu MATE 22.04.3, and the system's clipboard sometimes contains confidential information, like the password to the online psychology service I use after a prolonged NetBeans 19 session. I was surprised that pressing Ctrl+Shift+D inside NetBeans displays such information in clear text on the screen.
Furthermore, copying text from LibreOffice Writer (just copying, no even pasting) adds little gray [] markers around the copied text, creating a Bookmark named like "__DdeLink__0_987707859", and marking the document as having been modified. I find it disturbing, so I fear increased psychologist bills. No, I'm not crazy (yet). It turns out that the NetBeans text editor has a little clipboard manager which spies what you copy on all other applications, whether you paste into NetBeans or not. The corresponding Action is called "Paste from History". Further details about the unwanted LibreOffice interaction I mentioned are here: Bug 106106 - Unexpected bookmark DdeLink appears after copying text, switching focus to NetBeans and back again https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106106 Is there a way to limit the NetBeans clipboard manager's curiosity to only inside NetBeans? Or to stop requesting DDE links from LibreOffice Writer (just plain text)? Or to disable the clipboard history feature altogether? A single clipboard entry, pasted only on demand, is actually enough for me. Thanks in advance, rdiez --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
