Copy and paste under Linux is also in bad shape. Even the in-app contextual menus for copy and paste are broken. Nor is text in the secondary paste buffer (selected text) able to be pasted using the middle button.

For example you can select all of the rich text in the Readme doc and do a right click copy, move to another page and try to paste it into an existing doc there. It does not work. Sometimes old content from the clipboard appears repeatedly and the newly copied text fails to be copied after all.

This problem exists in the most current version and the previous version.

I tried to fix this issue in the above PR and verified it on Windows 11. Will fix the Linux issue once I get my Linux computer.

Only when copy pasting from external windows into Appflowy.

Copy pasting within AppFlowy is fine.

The bug seems to be when using code blocks. Before interacting with a code block, copy paste seems okay. But the moment I try to paste into a code block it breaks pasting (text from outside the app) into all documents

I'm having this issue too. Before interacting with code blocks the copy/paste from other windows seems normal, but after interacting with a code block, it just doesn't work.

I'm having pasting issues on Mac M1 too.
It happens when i:

  • Copy a title and tries to paste it somewhere else
  • Copy an image and tries to paste it somewhere else
    When the paste is not successful, it only writes "v", so it seems like it ignores the CMD+V and only writes the V.
    However, sometimes the past work if I press it repeatedly
