Copy Paste issues within OneDrive web-based
So I was copying across a couple documents between 2000 and 4000 words each. I had three more to go and I noticed the clip board copied the last one, not the current one I copied. I thought maybe I didnt hit the button right so I right clicked and clicked copy then went to the new document and right clicked and selected paste. Still only gave me the the previous one, not the one I just tried to copy. I tested several other copy paste functions in other apps, or browsers, or programs and everything worked fine. I could copy something from outside onedrive and paste it in the document but I could no longer copy from one document to another within onedrive.
It feels like a cashing issue so I cleared my cookies and cash, restarted the browser, still wouldnt work. I did system updates and checked to make sure my browser was up to date, everything was fine. I tried creating new documents to paste into and still wouldnt work. I restarted my computer and it was still having issues. Now I have a document with crap in it I dont need and I cant even delete the document because it tells me its currently in use and I know its not because I just did a restart.
I dont know whats going on but it feels like the clipboard may be "full" but any documentation that I can find on how to clear my clipboard is for the app, not the web based version.
HELP!
I need to be able to copy and paste again!
Minesoriginal The clipboard is not a OneDrive-managed feature or something stored in a browser cache. It is in the host environment, which includes your browser and operating system.
What you might be seeing is a limitation on the undo buffer, and that is probably connected to the number of edits you have done in a session and the complexity of the document.But it only is an issue between OneDrive documents. I can copy from an outlook email into the onedrive document or between other browsers. I managed to do 5 out of 8 documents when it just pooped the bed and has been stuck like this. now I cant even copy a single word between onedrive documents.
- Your experience doesn't exclude my response. You haven't reported a test scenario that pins it down to a clipboard that OneDrive doesn't manage.
