Copying Layer Styles not Working in 1.8.4.693 Update


Recommended Posts

  1. Are you using the latest release version? (here's how to check) Yes - Photo version 1.8.4.693
  2. Can you reproduce it? (if you cannot then we may struggle to also, making it even harder to fix) Yes
  3. Does it happen for a new document? If not do you have a document you can share that shows the problem? Yes
  4. If you cannot provide a sample document then please give an accurate description of the problem for example it should include most of the following:
  •    What is your operating system and version (Windows 10, OSX Mojave, iOS 12 etc)? Windows 10 Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.423) (Version 10.0.1.19041 Build 19041)
  •    What happened for you (and what you expected to happen) I copied a text layer for the style (tried both clicking in the file menu and Ctrl+c) and attempted to paste the layer style on to a different text layer but Paste Style and Paste FX are both grayed out; also tried both Artistic Text Tool and Frame Text Tool just for kicks and got the same; also turned off my Windows 10 Clipboard history/multiple items option just in case because I had turned that on recently but it made no difference either
  •    Provide a recipe for creating the problem (step-by-step what you did). Copy a text layer (for the style) (doesn't matter method) > try to paste the layer style on to a new or different text layer - Paste Style and Paste FX are both grayed out so you cannot complete the action
  •    Screenshots (very handy) or a screen capture/video.
  •    Any unusual hardware (like tablets or external monitors or drives that may affect things) or relevant other applications like font managers or display managers.
  •    Did this same thing used to work and if so have you changed anything recently? (software or hardware) It did use to work but I'm not sure how far back...

Ho @biz_kid1,

I can't replicate this here, but I reckon it's a 3rd party clipboard manager/viewer that's altering the data. 

Did this work before the 1.8.4 update? 

 

Yes...I said that above but not sure when last.  And I even said I suspected it may have been Microsoft's included clipboard manager but also tried disabling that as well.
