Re: Copy and Paste on a Virtual Machine

It is a problem with the virtual machine - we have seen this happen in the VM's we use for our training classes.

I believe I worked around this issue by:

1. Restarting the VM (the issue seems to come and go, restarting seemed to work for me)

2. I think one time I was able to paste into notepad or Word and paste from that into InfoPath

Hope that helps

Copy and Paste on a Virtual Machine

oldradio99 — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:47:08 GMT

I just began using a Virtual XEN Citrix desktop for my InfoPath development and have run across a problem.

I am no longer able to do any copy and paste. I can highlight and copy but when I try to paste, nothing happens.

If I press Control V 5-10 times I might get one paste. Sometimes I get two pastes and I Control Z to back one out.

I read somewhere that this behavior is a problem with Virtual Machines (mine runs XP) but now I cant find the posting I read.

Does anyone here have any knowledge of this issue?

Thanks
