It seems this bug is fixed too with the new toolchain. It can be closed.

Thanks for your respoonse. I am using VERSION 0.7.5-g70514b for Windows. Probably a Windows problem. I'm not even able to cut/paste within the syntax editor :(

The original bug report as I understand it concerned cut/paste in the variable/data sheets.  I don't think that's changed.

But I tried both cutting and pasting to/from the syntax editor and it seems to work fine for me.  I'm using 0.7.8g5825b0b on GNU/Linux

If that version doesn't work on Windows, then someone who has the time and skills to debug the Windows version will have to diagnose the problem before we can fix it.

Hi, re: Bug #30768...I'm wondering if this problem has been fixed yet? I am unable to paste into the syntax file from Word or paste a file name. Using MS Windows.

Thank you!
Jill

Right, that happens at my computer too. I used ctrl-V to paste the text.

When I tried this on windows, the "Paste" menuitem didn't enable itself.  How did you manage to paste at all?

I can confirm that this is a MSWindows specific problem. At least on MSWindowsXP. The problem occurs also in newer PSPP binaries for MSWindows .
