I am using the Roblox App from the Microsoft store. My friend is experiencing this issue too with their macbook.
I can not copy text from any TextBox using Ctrl+C.
I also can not paste text into any TextBox using Ctrl+V.

Expected Behavior
I expect Ctrl+C to copy my selected text in my TextBox. It works that way in all my other applications.
I expect Ctrl+V to paste my clipboard text in my TextBox. It works that way in all my other applications.

Actual Behavior
Ctrl+C does not affect my clipboard at all.
Ctrl+V does not paste my clipboard text into my TextBox.

I also often experience this, try restarting your computer.

Restarting my computer did not solve this issue.

Installing the Roblox app again after deleting files did not work.

Yes. The problem still persists.

You have the solution right here in this thread, as many people suggested, just download the Roblox client from the website. I have no idea why you would use the Roblox App on Windows, with that I have experienced countless bugs as well as performance issues. And as many had stated, it’s a deprecated app.

Not trying to force anything into you, just letting you know :smile:

If Roblox officially discouraged the use of the UWP app, they should take it down from the Microsoft store. The app cannot be left in its current state. I too, would recommend downloading the player from the website, but I think this is still a valid bug report.

Sorry for the super late reply. Do you still encounter this issue?
