      I am having a problem with the copy and paste.
      This does not happen when I use Notepad++ locally on my computer.

      Because I often use Notepad++ over a x2goclient session. This is the problem.
      I often have to copy selected code more than once, e.g., two times, before the paste option is available.

      This seems to happen when I change the selected line. If the paste is available when I change the selected line, the data is still available. This is ok.

      However, whenever I change the selected line, as in what line number I am currently on, then attempt to copy some data on that line, I have to copy it twice before it is available for paste.

      Please help, thank you.

        @ohlogic ,

        Notepad++ itself doesn’t need to copy data twice in order to have it in the clipboard. That tells me that the chances are high that it’s caused by your remote-access client (x2goclient), not by Notepad++. If the same thing happens if you run MS notepad.exe over the same client, then it’s definitely x2goclient’s fault; if it doesn’t, then it still might be the client’s fault, or the unique way that the client interacts that Notepad++ gets confused by.

          @PeterJones Here’s the thing, when I start a program like xed or notepad.exe, they copy and paste just fine over the x2goclient session. This copy, past problem is only happening in notepad++ via wine over x2golient. I have been a Notepad++ enthusiast for many years, I may have to start using an alternative text editor until this is resolved. Though Notepad++ is the best text editor and is my favorite always.

            @ohlogic said in copy and paste problem:

            via wine

            That’s probably your problem. Notepad++ developers don’t actually support Notepad++ on wine, because that layer adds things that Notepad++ developers cannot guarantee. If you can get it to work on wine, great; if not, sorry.

              @PeterJones Yes, I can confirm that the latest version of wine is causing this, I have installed wine version 6.0.1 x64 that is the recommended version from PlayOnLinux to install different versions of wine and Notepad++, and it works nicely again. Thank You for your assistance.

                @ohlogic It seems that a different wine version did not suffice, though installing Diodon, a clipboard manager, seems to be ok for now, if anything changes, I’ll update this post. Good day.
