Versions 1.31 and 1.32 running on 64-bit GNU/Linux with 32-bit wine 2.6 can't paste any text into the Notes field, nothing. Downgrading to version 1.30 CAN paste text into the Notes field just fine.

Do you have xsel and xdotools installed? They fix some mono clipboard issues.

cheers, Paul

I do have xsel and xdotool installed. However, this is a version 1.x issue, and 1.x doesn't need mono at all on Linux wine. Besides, the point is that the 1.31 upgrade broke a working feature, and, with no pretense to know you code, I'm suspicious of this item in the update history, "Simple text boxes now convert rich text immediately". I don't know what it really means, but it's the only item that has got something to do with text input. Ref. http://www.keepass.info/news/n160302_1.31.html

Sorry, not seen a V1 Linux question and my head said V2 / mono.
I saw the change in V1.31, so it's probably an issue with Wine and text controls.

Can you paste from any source, including from KeePass?

cheers, Paul

Excluding KeePass I can paste from wine apps to the Linux clipboard and viceversa. I can also paste into one-line KeePass fields. I CAN'T paste into the Notes box, just that one. Let me stress that this is not a general wine paste issue, it only happens with KeePass.

From KeePass into KeePass?

v.1.31 with wine
Copying from KeePass single line entry field then pasting to KeePass single line entry field = works OK
Copying from KeePass single line entry field then pasting to KeePass multiline Notes field = Nothing is pasted.

Pasting doesn't work properly with Wine, because Wine doesn't support EM_PASTESPECIAL:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14530

I've now added a workaround. When running under Wine, KeePass now uses the standard paste message (which may cause formatting problems though; this is the reason why KeePass normally uses PasteSpecial).

Here's the latest 1.x development snapshot for testing:

Thanks and best regards,

Thanks Dominik. I can confirm that the work-around is effective on my system running Wine 2.6.
