Copy and paste in remote CMD

Hi guys,

 

Since the last update to LMI Client, every time I go in to the remote CMD I'm unable to paste anything in to the window.

 

I have the option to paste, but when I do it just moves the cursor in a few characters.

 

I've tried right clicking, Ctrl + V but nothing.

 

Is anyone else experiencing the same?

    I just started having this issue in the last few weeks or so. Is there a way to uninstall the latest update or 2? Maybe the update broke this feature. I can highlight in remote command prompt / powershell, and when I let go of the button after highlighting I see a scissors icon in the center of the CMD window but when I try to paste to notepad, it doesn't have what I highlighted in the remote cmd prompt window. It only has my previous clipboard content. I AM able to paste at this point.

      aguirrebaytex Welcome to the community and apologies for the delay, this issue was resolved a few years ago, but we haven't had any recent reports. Are you still experiencing this? 

      To clarify, when you state that you are able to paste, you can only paste what was previously in your clipboard?

    Yes we are experiencing the exact same issue. Very annoying indeed.  I think it relates to the build of Windows on the remote unit. The newer the build the less likely it seems that Paste in the CMD/Powershell windows will work.

    Hi plc1982 

    I apologize for the difficulty there.  While I haven't heard of this specific behavior, it may be related to another report of CMD prompts closing the interface early.  I will check with engineers to see if the forthcoming release will have an effect.
