drwatson Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 What you were doing when the issue happened I was copying with command+c Whether you were able to replicate it Not on demand, but it happens frequently Include any screenshots that might help us sorry Include the version and build number from Alfred's General preferences (bottom left) 2.7.2 This bug has been present for quite some time, but because I disabled merging (because of the bug) I forgot about it. It occurs frequently when I hit command+c that the notification of fast append is happening even though I only hit command+c once (no double-tap). I love this feature and I used it a lot before this started happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Do you have any other clipboard apps such as popclip installed as this can cause the clipboard double copies (which is what Alfred will interpret as merge). Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Hi Andrew, i'm not running anything else Granted, I'm on El Capitan now when this is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hi Andrew, i'm not running anything else Granted, I'm on El Capitan now when this is happening. I've been keeping an eye out for this behaviour on El Capitan and haven't managed to reproduce it. A few questions... Are you still experiencing the issue now that 10.11 is GA? Are you using an Apple brand Keyboard? Is it only in certain types of software (e.g. Parallels or Java) Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'll have to start using it again. I had it disabled because it's really disruptive. Stand by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drwatson Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 It just happened in iTerm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yes, it's happened and is happening in iTerm 2. Quite frequently so, must be something with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yes, it's happened and is happening in iTerm 2. Quite frequently so, must be something with that Ah, iTerm must be configured to "Copy on Select", which essentially means you are selecting text, this is being put into the OS X clipboard, then you are pressing cmd+c so it's being put into the OS X clipboard again which is why Alfred is triggering a merge. You could either disable "Copy on Select" in iTerm, or not press cmd+c after selecting text in iTerm as it's already copied as soon as you select. Let me know how you get on!

drwatson Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Thanks Andrew, that sounds very plausible. In fact, I'm going to assume it fixes the problem. I'll only update if it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakeLimeade Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 This is still an issue, I was having the same problem with iTerm. Any chance of coding an alert/warning to avoid this frustration? Or perhaps notice that it's iTerm and run a self test? For what it's worth, it happens only half the time and I can't tell when it'll trigger. I'm sure I'm not the only person that this was making nuts. Grug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vero Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 @MakeLimeade You can disable "Copy to pasteboard on selection" in iTerm to stop this behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not - I'm going nuts, too. I don't have iTerm on my Macbook Air M1 Monterey 12.6.1. The issue occurs at least in Microsoft Word for Mac v. 16.69 (not sure about other apps).

Grug Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 That function doesn't work well for me too. It merge everything 🤪 I disable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
