BUG? in copy and paste

MJ. Smith

This seems to be a strange question of what constitutes the text to be copied:

Now I right click, copy and come back here to paste:

INDICATIVE  The indicative is a
MOOD The term mood refers to certain CONJUGATIONS of the VERB in languages that express mood explicitly, e.g. the INDICATIVE, SUBJUNCTIVE and OPTATIVE in Greek.
 of the
VERB Verb is a term in the grammatical classification of words that traditionally refers to a class of words which expresses actions, positions, processes and states. The following subclasses are found: INTRANSITIVE, TRANSITIVE, prepositional and copulative verbs. The STEM of a BH verb normally has three consonants, and this is the dictionary form. FINITE verbs in BH have the following characteristics: STEM FORMATION, CONJUGATION (tense/ MOOD), person, gender, number. Non-finite verbs do not have person: the participle do have gender and number, and, strictly speaking, it is a verbal adjective. The infinitive has neither person nor gender and number, and, strictly speaking, it is verbal NOUN.

Now do you find that a bit odd - it expanded the text and essentially "hides" the text I was trying to copy . For me, this was useless in trying to explain to someone in another thread how to identify the indicative.

MJ,

I found something like this too, earlier today. I was going to log a bug report once I worked out the base (simple) case of what was going on.

In the case I was working with, the rich RTF form that goes over to Word was OK, but the plain text version was TOTALY BROKEN.

I have reported elsewhere, but so far Logos seems to have never accepted the multiple bug reports from others.

The TEXT version of what gets placed into the Windows Clipboard is BROKEN!!!

This can be seem with regards to Footnotes, but also where there is marked-up text with Highlight codes. The application I am developing DEPENDS on the BEFORE and AFTER text of a Highlight code coming over into the Clipboard (as it does at present).

The RTF formats appear OK, but plain text is broken. Also, selecting Wordpad in CBV creates an RTF format NOT understood by Wordpad. Clearly a bug, but not accepted as such by Logos.

SOLUTION: Logos4 needs to also render all codes and content into the plain text format for the Clipboard. If need be, include additional field-marker codes, such as [] () {} or something around markers, such as footnote codes.
