Copy/Paste into Chat and Composer Is Broken

[soothaa]

Upgraded to the latest version available today, and I can no longer copy/paste into the chat window or composer. Restarted application multiple times, no dice.

Hi @soothaa ,

Out of interest, does this only happen if the content you are pasting in has spaces or non-alphanumeric text at the start of the lines?

I have experienced this behaviour for a while:

Copy paste dont work from editor to composer

Yes, I have noticed this behaviour. It happens with most characters that are not ‘normal letters’. If the line does not start with a normal letter, then it does not paste. If you paste in another text editor, remove those characters, and then copy and paste again, it works. You might want to re-categorise this topic as a Bug Report, as I think it is a bug.

Interesting. I wasn’t trying to, but maybe there’s something funky hidden. If I copy just a word or two it’s working.

Pasting into composer also hasn’t been working for me with multi line content. Haven’t fully tried it on 0.40.1 yet though

I know @shaoruu was interested in getting a reproduceable example, I haven’t had one recently so couldn’t assist, but if you have any non-sensitive example content you could share with him, I think he would be grateful:

Hi @litecode, Could you send me an example to reproduce this problem? Thank you!

I have the same problem. Copy and paste suddenly stop working inside Cursor. Evening clicking Copy/Paste in the Edit menu does not work.

I don’t seem to be able to attach a text file, so trying to dump the text here

My json object now has a property of 'pinned' - if the value is 1 I want the entry pinned to the top of my datatables, regardless of user sorting options. But only if the filtering would display it normally.

I'm told this link contains the proper way of doing this: @https://datatables.net/reference/option/orderFixed 

I only want a maximum number of 2 pinned items actually pinned. The way we should determine is by picking the items that have the highest row.micrograde. Items that are not selected to be the 2 selected at the top should be saved off into another list. When we update or change the filtering/sorting, we need to reevaluate which 2 items are displayed.

The end goal is that there are always 2 special items at the first 2 entries of the datatable that match the filtering appropriately.

Please provide a complete and comprehensive solution for this, accounting for all the javascript functions and requirements. Once completed, please recheck your work and critique it, and make a final update pass based on the critique.

Edit: Confirming copying/pasting from above does not work

@shaoruu - here is another users example of text that cannot be copy/pasted into chat

I’m also experiencing this issue when pasting the following JSON into the composer -

{
    "attributes": {
        "type": "st_patch_stg__Site__c",
        "url": "/services/data/v37.0/sobjects/st_patch_stg__Site__c/a2LHr000001s4wRMAQ"
    },
    "Id": "a2LHr000001s4wRMAQ",
    "st_patch_stg__Location__Latitude__s": 30.263961,

}

I have the same problem with composer.

What am I doing? I create a markdown file, write a prompt and copy paste it into composer.

It’s worth noting that if I open command palette, select “Developer: Reload Window” , pasting works until I run the prompt. After that, if I create new composers, pasting won’t work.

I’ve had the same issue for a few weeks. I’ve noticed I can’t copy & paste blocks of code into the Composer, but I can sometimes paste single lines of code.

[dzineer]

Why has the creator of Cursor not even responded?

[fun_strange]

I’ve notified the devs about this issue, hopefully they can find a solution!

[markmcdon7]
