More than one line copy fail

Post by DrTeeth »

Hi,

I will often select text on the first page of a PDF to be used as the file name. If the text is on two or more lines, only the first line appears when the text is pasted into the save dialogue.

I have just checked what was copied by pasting into wordpad, and all the text was present in the clipboard. The expected behaviour is that all the text appears.

Cheers

Hello DrTeeth,
This is likely due to return characters, If the text contains a return character the save dialog should not see anything after it, and treats it as the end of the text line.

Hi Daniel,

That looks like it. I have just had a play around to test and it looks like it is a Windows "feature" as it affects other programs.

Cheers
