Copying text from LC Script Editor

[Jim MacConnell]

I have a similar issue with Windows 7 Pro (LC 8.1 Community)... 
I also can't copy and paste directly into applications other than a simple
text editor (NotePad). I can then copy and paste from NotePad to wherever I
want to go (PowerPoint, Word, etc.) with no issues.

My problem also occurs trying to copy text from fields.

Saving the text to file and opening works fine so sure seems to be an LC 8
clipboard issue.

Copying text from the script editor is problematic on more than one
platform.

Over here "in the wilds of Linux" it is not possible to copy-paste directly
from the script editor into anything but a simple text editor.

For instance; if I want to paste code from the script editor into
Thunderbird (my e-mail client) I have to paste it into a text editor and
then copy-paste from there into Thunderbird (a double bounce, so to say).
The same sort of thing into a Libre Office document, and so on.
