Copy selected text dont work
« on: October 22, 2012, 10:22 PM »
I can't get copy selected text to work inside browser url bar or from Outlook..:huh:
It's ok inside body of browser window. Any tips?

When I launch it from browser url I see a right click context menu flashing in the background.. why?

now that is interesting.. it does copy to the clipboard for me, but i also see the flash of the context menu.. i wonder why that is happening.. i wonder if i could be sending some simulated keystroke that i don't realize i'm sending..

vemundha, can you try this version:
http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/findrun/downloads/beta/FindAndRunRobotSetup.exe

It uses slightly different code for simulating the Ctrl+C copy hotkey.

That build fixed the issue for me as well.
