Drag and drop losing characters

Dragging and dropping usernames and passwords sometimes loses characters. This is most reproducible (50%+) in remote desktop windows but also occasionally happens in browsers. Normally seems to be on...

Hi everyone,

I was just coming to the forums to make the same post as Martin about Remote Desktop (RDP) with drag and drop. I've had sporadic issues since 8 released, but its gotten much worse recently. In the past I would just try again and it would work, now I'm seeing failures in the 80%+ of the time.. Enough to just have had my account locked.

Strangely I've been seeing the Mandarin character: 䀀 getting copied 1/10 times as the second or third character. [neither the source or destination machine has Mandarin language pack installed]

Same as Martin that its always the first character or the first and second character, the rest of the string seems to copy fine.

Any fix would be welcomed. Having to reveal and type 32 character passwords each time a RDP locks is quite annoying.

Thanks!
