This has only happened to me once, but wanted to report it.
I was editing a header file, and had finished typing in this declaration:CString BuildCategoryString(const CString& sCategory,
const CString& sGroup, const CString& sSubGroup) const;Now, I wanted to paste that line somewhere else, so I wanted to copy it to the clipboard, so I selected it all. At this point, most people would probably press "Ctrl-C", but for some odd reason, I have always (since Windows 3.0, anyway), done "Shift-Del, Shift-Ins". I don't know why I do it this way, but I'm too old and set in my ways to change now.
Anyway, this method has always worked for me, until just now. When I did it, it "cut" correctly, but what it pasted in was the previous thing on the "ring" or whatever:stockcodesform.cpp(1433 That is, it's the second item in the Ctrl-Shift-V menu, which VAX selects as the default one to paste (which is nice, I think).
So, my "Shift-Ins" seems to have acted like a "Ctrl-Shift-V, Return", or something - but just this one time. Anyone else ever see this?

It sounds like the copy did not actually happen. Did you do a ctrl-shift-v to see it va added it to the ring?

Thanks. Whoo-hoo!quote:

That's the weird part, the copy did happen - when I did the Ctrl-Shift-V, it was first in the list, and the thing that actually got pasted was second. And when I deleted the text that was mis-pasted, and hit Shift-Ins again, this time the paste worked... maybe it's a timing thing? I tend to do the "Shift-Del, Shift-Ins" as fast as I can...
