5 years agoHi Dayton_ag, I've been playing with the copy and paste issue a bit, and I think I've found something that can trigger the issue. To answer your question about RDP though, no - I'm not using an elevated window.
So I have seen this issue both in RDP (not all the time, but most of the time), and also in just general use but specifically when copying passwords or other data from 1Password to 1Password. This is because I'm trying to change some of my entries to a different type, so I open the old entry in a new window, then create the new entry in the main 1Password window. This morning it seemed to be working fine -> Create a new entry, hit the copy button on the username, paste it into the new entry, hit the copy on the password, paste it into the new entry. Then I tried copying the note text (there's no copy button here, so I selected it, then ctrl-c) and pasted it into the notes section of my new entry. I then just tried doing the username and password again using the buttons (not sure why I did this, but glad I did), and now they no longer copied and pasted properly. However - the interesting thing is, after copying a username or password and it NOT pasting into the new 1Password entry - I COULD paste it into Visual Studio Code (I'm sure something like notepad would be the same).
I then tried the same thing with RDP - and the same kind of thing happened. Initially I could copy and paste using the copy button on the 1Password fields- but after I'd copied some text within RDP, I could then no longer copy and paste between 1Password and RDP - but I could still paste the field into my local Visual Studio Code.
So it seems like when something else uses the clipboard, this perhaps upsets 1Password a little but not completely?
