PutClipboard and unicode characters

Post by bentaltamir » Fri Dec 21, 2018 6:10 pm

I use the PutClipboard command to paste Hebrew text into applications. In version 14.4.06 the following type of code worked fine (just an example I used to test the problem):
let>testcode=שלום לכם
PutClipBoard>%testcode%
SetFocus>Untitled - Notepad
wait>0.2
Press CTRL
SendText>v
Release CTRL
I updated recently to version 14.5.2 and now when pasting from the clipboard I get
שלום לכם
possibly the new version does not retain the Unicode(UTF-8) definition in the PutClipboard command.
uninstalled and reinstalled the older version and it works fine..
anything to solve the problem?
thank you

We'll investigate. In the mean time switch to the old legacy PutClipboard by setting:

Let>PUTCLIPBOARD_LEGACY=1

Setting PUTCLIPBOARD_LEGACY to 1 definitely fixed it for me. However, we have now fixed the new implementation of PutClipboard to work with unicode characters properly. So should be fixed in next update coming very soon.
