SPSS Statistics

Hello!

I recently updated to v. 29.0.2 from v.28, using MacOS. Suddenly I'm not able to use the desktop short-command Command + V to paste numbers from one variable's cell to another (this worked fine before the update), the copy-command Command+C works but to get the numbers to a cell in another variable, I have to manually right-click and choose "Paste".

Also when I want to copy results from Output, to put in for example Excel, I use "Command +C" and the window for copy-alternatives (e.g. Plain text, Copy special etc.) pops up and then quickly disappears, so fast you have no chance to click on it. If I right-click on a result to copy something, the alternative "Copy Special" is not available like in previous versions, only "Copy". 

This is very inconvenient when working with data on a daily basis. Please help, is there anything I can do to fix it? Tried rerunning the program and restarting my computer, did not change anything unfortunately.

Just googling this as this problem has still not been fixed, which is unbelievable. The bug has apparently been around since at least v. 21. 

My workaround has been to cut a random piece of text from my syntax and paste it back, which seems to reset it, but ffs, this bug appears every single day. I don't want to be using a stupid workaround every single day of my working life. By now I must have wasted hours, if not days of my life on workarounds for this ridiculous bug.

When is someone finally going to fix this?

Hello Lannie, sorry you are experiencing that problem. We have never been able to reproduce the issue in-house, either in the development team or QA. I worked with engineers to try and surmise what may be happening and we believe we found a potential cause in the code, and have addressed it in the newly released version 30. If you or anyone else is able to reproduce this issue in version 30, please feel free to message me privately and we will work with you to figure out what is happening and address it.

Best,
