Re: [B2-devel] [PATCH] More clipboard-related fixes for Basilisk / SheepShaver

[Lew Irwin/S. B. <st...@us...>]

I'm a non-techie who uses Sheepshaver daily. I just tried out the 7/1/12
version. While I can now copy and paste out of Tex-Edit (I could only paste
into it from OSX previously) I can't do so with ClarisWorks, my primary OS9
word processor. Previously I could copy from OSX and paste in ClarisWorks
but not vice versa. (I had to use Simple Text as an intermediary.) Now I
can do neither.  I don't need to copy styled text in either direction.

Also, in neither version of SheepShaver can I copy and/or paste within
ClarisWorks if SpellCatcher is active.
