Crashing wipes the clipboard

Bug Reports Studio Bugs
1

This may be the single worst bug I’ve ever come across. I always thought I was safe if I copied my code to my clipboard before I tried to run it. Apparently not.

Step 1: Make a script in the workspace
Step 2: while true do end
Step 3: Copy code
Step 4: Run place
Step 5: Watch place crash, force quit
Step 6: Try to paste your code

Doesn’t work. Repros every time.
Where: production
When it started: I haven’t crashed in a long time. No idea which updated caused it, but it’s happening right now.

Confirmed repro
The clipboard might be pointing somewhere within the studio’s memory. Either that or it awkwardly clears the clipboard or doesn’t use the system clipboard. Shouldn’t be too hard to find the source :stuck_out_tongue:

Have two studio windows open, try and copy one instance and paste it into the other. It won’t work.

I think this is an unfortunate consequence of how the Windows clipboard works.

Works fine for me.

This sometimes works for me

Does it work both ways? I have serious issues with this, rarely does it work.

Odd. This shouldn’t be happening - I believe the Windows Clipboard is simply a temporary file which is shared across all applications. The only way it COULD be happening is because ROBLOX might implement a custom clipboard

I’ve had issues pasting into the same instance, never mind across them.

That’s only if you’ve already had a window crash, I think.

Nope, I rarely get crashes.
