Hello everyone,
Over the past weeks I've noticed that the frequency of my ‘failed copy operations’ (CTRL+C) out of text fields in houdini has been increasing.
At first, I thought it might have been just me - but then others in the building have started to chime in as well.
Natch, I don't have steps to reproduce just yet, but I wanted to take an informal survey.
Have you noticed more copy and paste fail since H14 released?

I too have been suffering from this annoying problem
I have found it present using several builds (latest being 14.0.257) on CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 with a GTX 760 using the NVIDIA driver 340.46
I have found that sometimes using alt-c and alt-v instead for copy and paste works however at some point during my houdini session all copying and pasting of text will cease to function.
please help us SESI!
:cry:

I think the issue is related to the “sloppy focus” (I'll coin a term here) of OSX in general. Sometimes you think a node or field has focus so you issue a keyboard command to copy and then move on. But in reality the focus was with another field, node or even app. This leaves an unexpected result on the clipboard that may or may not be pasteable in your next operation.
I tend to use ALT-C exclusively on OSX and CTRL-C on Windows.
Just my observations.

Say copying a SOP node, uppping one level to /obj and I lose the clipboard contents. Although if I have a second network view open at the SOP level the paste into that will work.
Are you trying to paste SOP nodes inside the OBJ context? That's not supposed to work. But if you dive down into SOPs, you should be able to paste.

I've had cut and paste issues since Houdini 2.x in the Irix SGI days.
I remember everything IRIX related to be nearly flawless.
Funny what time does.

Indeed, other than cut and paste, everything else seemed to be rock solid, best x-windows implementation I had to use in production.
I don't missing paying $60,000 for a texture memory upgrade, no wonder Nvidia cleaned their clock. Of course back then you could charge for more stuff to off set things.

OsX: You need at least a PDP-11 to install it; Apparently the KL10 Wire-Wrap o the PDP-10 causes problems with Apple's implementation of the OpenGL libraries:

Under Fedora 31 with Houdini 18.0.391 I have the copy&paste issue.
I have to hit Ctrl+C at least two times to copy the text to the clipboard. I tried to get used to do it multiple times, but sometimes I forgot it and trying to remove the wrongly pasted text by undoing with Ctrl+Z in any Wrangle is super annoying.
I wonder if there is a fix for this.
