[DUG] Cut/Copy/Paste

[Dave O'Brien]

Bugger: It has worked fine up till now. I suppose I'll have to go
through the hassle of re-installing it again...

I really can't imagine how basic functionality like this could get
broken.

Yes Dave,

 

I have found the same.

 

And there was a thread on D2005 problems some time ago and the
suggestion was that later versions of Delphi are the only fix that
Borland ( now CodeGear) would produce.

 

I still feel cheated by D2005 to be honest!

 

Paul

Hi

This is a new bug introduced in D2007 update 3 (I assume thats the
Delphi you are using).  It really annoyed the %$*@# out of me.  Code
gear know its there but haven't released an updated patch for it yet (I 
thought the idea of the new update system was that small updates would
be automatically downloaded and installed ?).

Anyway the suggested solution (in quality central) is to modify source
code and rebuild Delphi.  However it seems there is some debate over 
what to change.  Anyway there is also a small program you can get that
automatically does the patch (to the binary files) and fixes it for
you.  I did this and it worked fine.

I don't have the web site for it but I can email the exe to you if you 
need it.  I found about it by Google (which found it in QC).

Sorry I should have posted about this when I found it, it's not the
easiest thing to find.  Although it would be nice if Code Gear had
alerted us, after all it is a pretty major flaw - no right click options


for edits etc.
