BUG: Windows Clipboard History doesn't work for search box of a filter, instead pastes into sheet
BUG REPORT: the Windows Clipboard History does not paste as expected into the search box of a column filter. Instead, the item you choose in the history ends up pasting into (and potentially overwriting, causing data loss) whatever cell is currently selected. This only started with Windows 11--it worked as expected in Windows 10. Please fix this, as I very often need to use clipboard history entries to filter my tables. I have attached a screen recording showing what I am talking about. I don't know if the issue is more with Excel, or with Clipboard History. Either way, please fix this, and reach out to other teams if needed.
I did also submit this report via Excel Feedback.
I just performed a company-wide mandatory upgrade to Windows 11 and am experiencing the same behaviour. I also often use my clipboard history to filter and search within a spreadsheet. I have found the only way I can work around this bug is to TYPE in the value (not paste the value from my history clipboard). I would also appreciate a fix as soon as possible.
