Hi Dan,

you are right, if I copy via Cmd-C and past via Cmd-V it works.
It just doesn’t copy via context menu…

I’ll put it on my macOS-not-working list.

I did some investigations wrt the toolbar button behaviour way back.
I was able to get them at least partly working (if I remember correctly) when I changed some of the event IDs.
I didn’t understand why this made a difference, maybe some macOS specific wxWidgets magic.


Regards,
Bernhard

Then clicking the Paste icon inserts a new block that I can place by clicking. Likewise, hitting Cmd-V does the same as the Paste icon.

Selecting these in the contextual menu doesn’t seem to have any effect on the clipboard or the block (existing data in the clipboard stays there, and if it was empty it will remain empty, and the block does not get removed if I select Cut). Other contextual menu items that effect blocks work fine (Duplicate Block, Drag Block…)
