Total Commander

I was trying to copy some selected text from a Lister window with Ctrl-C and it didn't work, in the Clipboard I got strange things like
or
or
Copying from the menu->Edit->Copy as text worked, though. I was quite perplexed, until I discovered that I had left another Lister window
with an unclosed search popup window. That shouldn't mess other Listers operations, but it seems it does.

==============================
Steps to reproduce:

Open a Lister window on some file, search for some non-existant string, and whn the "Not found:" popup appears, don't close it.
Switch to TC, open another Lister windows on some other text file, select some text and copy it with Ctrl-C.
Paste to Notepad.
==============================

Experienced with 9.12 and latest 9.22a (64 bits)

Not confirmed
Followed your steps and it works as it should be.
I guess you run some strange Clipboard tool.

I can confirm it here at work in TC 9.12 - I will test it in TC 9.22a when I come home.

If I right-click on the selected text in the second instance of Lister and select "Copy as text" it works as it is supposed to.

For me it works with Ctrl-C and also using right click and "Copy as text"

Confirmed here too: TC 9.22a on Windows 7, both 32 and 64 bits.

I have now tested it in TC 9.22a 32bit and 64bit - and I can still confirm it.
Tested under Windows 7 and 10, and also tested with clean ini file.

BTW it is a duplicate of this: https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=46189 - and cannot be solved according to Ghisler

I found why I couldn't reproduce it
I was testing using your Lister menu entry "Auto (No Plugins/Multimedia)
but this is using a seperate TC (cmd=%COMMANDER_EXE% /S=L:N).
Tested with a clean Ini file I can confirm the error to.

It looks like it has been solved finally:

Can confirm the fix, tried in TC 9.50 beta 5 with dark mode disabled to get system msgbox in Lister, then copied text both from Lister's second opened copy or Total Commander's command line: it seems like the text is copied properly.

Sorry to have to report that this bug is still present if TranslateMessageButtons=0 is set in wincmd.ini

This is intentional. The solution requires a Windows hook, which can cause problems with certain virus scanners. TranslateMessageButtons=0 is mainly there so you can disable that hook.

OK
