M1m1s Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) When the issue happens I'm typing COMMAND X once to cut a word/phrase. Instead, Alfred fast-appends selected text to the previous clipboard and makes the characteristic noise to let you know it has. EDIT: It just now happened when I typed COMMAND X, rather than COMMAND C. I can replicate it every time. I amended text above to reflect that. 'Fast-append' and 'Place merged' are both selected in Settings. I'm able to replicate it a second time (and a third and a fourth) by performing the same action. [EDIT: I was under the impression it happened randomly. I now think it's not random - it's just that it occurs with COMMAND X and not COMMAND C that gave me the impression that it was random. Apologies for the confusion.] Versions: Alfred 5.0.6 [2110] with Powerpack. Macbook Air M1 Ventura 13.2.1. Microsoft Word for Mac v. 16.69. See also Closed Bug https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/7358-clipboard-merge-causes-fast-append-when-not-wanted/ for recent reports of the issue. Edited March 3, 2023 by M1m1s I corrected the shortcut that triggers the issue. Link to comment
Vero Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 @M1m1s Does the issue exclusively occur in Microsoft Word? If you test it in TextEdit, do you get the same behaviour? Link to comment
M1m1s Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 Thank you. No, it doesn't happen in TextEdit. Link to comment
M1m1s Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 I tried removing CTRL X and CMD X from EditCut command in MS Word (in Customize Keyboard) but the issue still occurs when you select Cut by right-clicking. Link to comment
M1m1s Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) It seems to happen only when Review>Track Changes is selected. Edited March 4, 2023 by M1m1s Removed 'Further testing may be required.' Now confirmed. Link to comment
M1m1s Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 A rather inconvenient and temporary workaround is to copy, rather than cut, and then delete the copied text before pasting. Link to comment
