Copy Paste external text into XPP

John Ibbotson

When copying an item inside of an XPP division, via (c)Copy or ctrl-C...it appears the clipboard internally works.

If you go to an external text source <copy> and then attempt to paste into the XPP division it does not use the external copy, it maintained the previous clipboard from inside XPP. 

If you exit the XPP division and reenter, the XPP clipboard has been cleared.   You are then able to go to an external text source copy and then paste into the XPP division.

In the images below as a test we copied the "motion for special" line in XPP and pasted.  We then copied the "Peter Piper..." para and tried to paste.  It repasted the "motion for special" .  We then exited the division and again copied the "Peter Piper..." para and it pasted into the division.

Once a internal XPP text item is copied it seems the clipboard is locked and will not accept and EXTERNAL copy into the clipboard.

Screenshot of Trados Studio showing the 'motion for special' line copied within XPP division.

We are using:

-ksh>>: xppversion
XPP 9.4.1.0

 Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.9 (Maipo)

We use Exceed as our X11 server.

    Jonathan,

      Last I read, only Exceed was certified as an X11 server for XPP.  I'm looking into the 9.4.1 documentation...but was curious if VcXsrv from sourceforge was looked at(patterned after Xming)?  I had tried xming at one point in the past but it did not like multiple pop up windows i.e. I could get to pathfinder, but it wouldn't open the division with the softkey menus.

    VcXsrv seems to be working and I have been able to do the cut/paste from my laptop word doc and in the XPP division.  The clipboard seems to function as expected.  I'm looking at the keyboard settings now...but if you know this method is not going to work...you could save me some investigation.
