In Trados Studio 2024 Professional SR1 when using Ctr+C in the project setup window the text is cut and not copied

From the very beginning of Trados Studio 2024 the usual Windows shortcut for copy does not work. I like to copy a part of the file path to use it as a project name, but insted of copying, it gets deleted thus destroying the path and not having anything to paste in the project name pane.

Could this be fixed? We actually reported it to Trados team at Tekom 2025, but obviously this information did not manage to get out of the conference premises.

    Hello,  

    It seems you are experiencing an issue with the copy functionality in Trados Studio 2024 Professional SR1, where using Ctrl+C results in the text being cut instead of copied. This can indeed be frustrating, especially when trying to manage project names and paths. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

    **Step 1:** Check for Conflicting Software  

    Sometimes, other applications can interfere with keyboard shortcuts. If you have any third-party applications running (like Deep L for Windows), try disabling them to see if that resolves the issue.

    **Step 2:** Reset Keyboard Shortcuts  

    Go to `File > Options > Keyboard Shortcuts` and click on 'Reset All'. This can help restore any default settings that may have been altered.

    **Step 3:** Test with a Different Keyboard  

    If possible, try using a different keyboard to rule out any hardware issues that might be causing the Ctrl+C command to behave incorrectly.

    **Step 4:** Update or Reinstall Trados Studio  

    Ensure that you are using the latest version of Trados Studio 2024. If the problem persists, consider reinstalling the software after backing up your settings.

    **Step 5:** Report the Issue  

    Since you mentioned that this issue was reported at Tekom 2025, it may be beneficial to follow up with the Trados team to ensure they are aware of the ongoing problem and to check if there are any updates or patches available.

    I hope these steps help you resolve the issue with the copy functionality in Trados Studio. If you have any further questions or if the problem persists, please feel free to reach out again.

  • Hi ,

    We are aware of this issue and the team is working on fixing it, it is registered under CRQ-43357.

    You can try as a workaround to use the right click of the mouse and use the Copy function from there.

    Best regards,

    Anca
