Synergy-core: Copying from the Chrome web browser doesn't work

[NateJC]

I just installed 1.7.6 (on both client and slave) which marks issue #5041 as resolved. However, I am still having this issue, consistently reproducible. Both computers are on OS X 10.11.1. If I copy from Chrome browser, I have to paste in Notepad on same computer, then re-copy before pasting on slave.

I'm getting the same issue. If anything it seems like it's gotten worse because I now have to redo it 3 times instead of 2.

For what it's worth, it also happens for Firefox browser.

Always when copying from client (Mac OSX 10.10) to host (Windows 7 x64 SP1).
Host to client is fine.

If needed, process for copying is:

• Open up webpage in Chrome/Firefox
• Right click on address bar > Copy
• Move over to host
• Paste options not active

SSL is off. Using ctrl+c to copy doesn't seem to affect the success rate.

edit: Extra info. I will probably test for another day or two before reverting back to an older version.

I'm also experiencing the same here. OS X 10.11 client to Windows 10 host. SSL is on.

I can't reproduce what you guys are getting above. Have tested to copy in this manner. I can reproduce it using the right click copy/paste but not using Cmd-c/Ctrl-c and Cmd-v/Ctrl-v.

Did you all test using both keyboard shortcuts and with right click menu?

The only time I can reproduce it is with the right click menu.

[nmat]

....also remember that Ctrl-c needs to be bound in a different way if using that on OS X.

OS X by standard keyboard still uses Cmd-c which is on windows keyboard Win-c

Maybe you can create a list of what works and what does not using template below:

Keyboard shortcuts (From Mac Client to Windows server):
Win-c (cmd-c) Ctrl-v - ????

Keyboard shortcuts (From windows to mac):
Ctrl-c Win-v (cmd-v)

Right click menu (Mac to windows):

Right click menu (Windows to Mac):

[twig]

I have my Mac (client) configured with modifier keys so alt/ctrl are swapped to match the Windows ctrl+C for copying.

This bug happens for both system menu copying, right click copying and ctrl+c copying.

I've already complained about this supposed fix not being an actual fix at all in issue #2909, I hope some more effort can be done to properly fix this.

+1 - I also seem to get pretty frequent synergyd crashes when I copy something from Chrome on my Windows 7 host, and move the cursor outside it's screen area (to an OS X client).

Having the same issue using Windows 10 and Mac OS X 10.11.6 with Synergy v1.8.2.
Reproducable using the Windows PC as server and the Mac as client.

1. Write something on some program on the Mac
2. Copy a portion of the text using Win + C
3. Move the mouse to the Windows-PC
   => Getting those two errors:
4. [2016-08-11T19:23:22] INFO: ignored screen "Franks-MacBook.home.lan" update of clipboard 0 (missequenced)
5. [2016-08-11T19:23:22] INFO: ignored screen "Franks-MacBook.home.lan" update of clipboard 1 (missequenced)

Workaround:

1. Write something on some program on the Mac
2. Copy a portion of the text using Win + C
3. Paste the text using Win + V
4. Copy it again using Win + C
5. Move the mouse to the Windows-PC
   => Now it works and you get:
6. [2016-08-11T19:23:19] INFO: screen "Franks-MacBook.home.lan" updated clipboard 0
7. [2016-08-11T19:23:19] INFO: screen "Franks-MacBook.home.lan" updated clipboard 1

UPDATE:
Seems like not every program is affected. Reprocudable - for me - using Copy and Paste in TextEdit and Spotlight Search.
