Copy & paste functions do not work properly in Source & Target fields in Translation Memories tab in Studio 2024

I encountered this issue the other day when searching for some translation in a reference TM in Studio 2024 SR1:

The copy & paste functions work just fine if I open a TM and click the Source/Target field right away.

However, if I click any TU after making a search or even after opening a TM, these function don't work any more in Source & Target fields, but I can copy & paste text in TUs. 

Now, to get what is required, I can only: make a search and type the result I need elsewhere (which is inconvenient) OR make a search, copy & paste the result I need, close and re-open the TM and make another search (which is very time-consuming).

I tried some Google search on this matter but found nothing useful.

This issue doesn't exist in Studio 2017 (that I previously used), any advice on how to fix it is appreciated.

    Hello,  

    It seems you are experiencing issues with the copy and paste functions in the Source and Target fields of the Translation Memories tab in Trados Studio 2024. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:  

    **Step 1:** Ensure that you are using the latest version of Trados Studio 2024. Check for any updates within the application and install them if available.  

    **Step 2:** Try the workaround mentioned in the context: after selecting a Translation Unit (TU) following a search, close the Fields section and click on "Show Field Values" again. This may help restore the functionality of the copy and paste functions.  

    **Step 3:** If the issue persists, consider restarting Trados Studio and your computer to see if that resolves any temporary glitches.  

    **Step 4:** If you have not done so already, try creating a new Translation Memory (TM) to see if the problem is specific to the TM you are currently using.  

    **Step 5:** If none of the above steps work, it may be beneficial to report this issue to the Trados support team for further investigation, as it could be a bug related to the latest update.
