Cherrytree: Copy/Paste from

Created on 5 Oct 2017  路  2Comments  路  Source: giuspen/cherrytree

OS: Windows 10.
Cherrytree version 0.38.2

I use Cherrytree for note keeping and to save commands I use for Linux.
I'm having a problem when I copy text from CherryTreee, it doesn't get transferred to the clipboard correctly.

It doesn't matter if I right-click and use "copy" or if I use a keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+c". More often than not, it will not copy correctly to the windows clipboard.

The strange part is that I have no issue when coping from CherryTree to CherryTree. It works perfectly, so if I copy a text from Cherrytree, and paste it to Cherrytree again, it works, but the same copy will not work outside Cherrytree for some reason.
The only fix I to copy it multiple times and wait a bit, then try again, but then it works, but it's pretty random.

This is a known issue with GTK2 on windows. If you are interested to copy the plain text only and losing the text formatting, you can use right click "copy as plain text" or "Ctrl+Shift+C" and this always works fine. Hopefully this problem will go in the new C++/GTK3 version I'm working on

Also meet this issue in windows 10. It's useful.
