copying a block of text from jEdit (4.3.2 or 4.4) does not paste into Maya 2012's script editor. Other versions of Maya such as 2008 and 2009 work fine. This can be circumvented by copying the text from jEdit into notepad, then copying from there into Maya.
Please email me with questions or comments.
Thank you
That's a bit hard to test. One needs to start maya trial. Could you first try with jedit 4.5.1 and sun java 6 to see if it is still a bug?
Updated, same bug. I know that Maya 2012 uses a pyQT interface, if that helps test without having maya itself.
I would also venture that the same bug exists in maya 2011, as that's when the major interface overhaul happened
Adam, please find other conditions to test. Maybe other app? Maya 2012 download is 1,5GB, to much for me.
But I saw something that may help. Please try to run CopyPaste java program. The instructions may be found inside java file. It should copy text "test" into the clipboard. Does Maya accept it?
There is also a c program attached that analyzes windows clipboard contents and allows to notice the difference between notepad and java clipboard contents.

There are plenty of free qt apps here:

I tried 2 of them:

I also tried standarddialogs.pyw from pyqt examples.
Pasting to them from jedit works well on my Win 7 64, sun java 6. Seems like Maya has some problems, but they may be workaroundable.
Adam, I'll wait 2 weeks for you trying attached java program with Maya.

Hi, has this bug been addressed in the meantime?
I'm currently running jEdit 5.0.0 on Java 1.7.0_25 and it's still happening, (using Maya 2014). Any ideas how to fix this by any chance?
What platform are you using? If linux, what desktop?
I don't know if you were the original reporter, but if you are, there were instructions that Jarek gave for things you should try, to help diagnose the problem better. If you can reproduce it, that's fine too.
