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.

    Yes, John, we've only qualified XPP with Exceed.

    What that means is that if a customer decides to use a different X/Server and runs into problems, we will only try to reproduce the problem using Exceed and if we cannot reproduce the reported problem then we have to leave it as it (or blame it as) being a problem with that other X/Server.

    But from what I've seen and heard, I do believe that some customers are (successfully) using X/Servers other than Exceed.

    It may indeed be worth looking at the X Selection (or clipboard) settings between the two apps to see if anything pops out that you might want to twiddle with in the Exceed settings to see if you get better results.

    Now that you've opened a ticket with support, at some point we'll be looking into that as well (i.e. do different X Selection settings in Exceed, than we currently document, make it work better).
