Known Bugs/Issues
- In version 2.00 and above, the paste hot keys do not work as they should in certain applications. For example, in Word when you press the paste hot key, no text will paste, you must also press [Ctrl]+[V] immediately afterward. However, in Notepad the paste hot keys work normally.
- Sometimes Clipboard Magic will stop archiving clips. When this happens you will have to close down and then restart the program to resume archiving. Note that if the tray icon can be seen Clipboard Magic is still running.
- When some application are running copied clips will appear duplicated in Clipboard Magic. This is a bug in those applications not Clipboard Magic. They are sending multiple updates to the clipboard. You should contact those companies to fix their bugs.
