clipboard strangeness (not sure a bug with Alfred)

[schnide]

When I copy something like

https://XXXXX.webex.com/umn/onstage/g.php?d=749086869&t=a

 

and the paste, I get

https://XXXXX.webex.com/umn/onstage/g.php

 

Its seems to cut off at the "?" often. 

 

Any testing or troubleshooting or know interactions with other tools or settings that could be causing this? I did not see it referred to in the FAQ or known issues.

Please let me know if I can provide further information.

 

Thanks

Alfred doesn't interfere with the clipboard in this way, he has a read only view over the clipboard in normal use. If you are experiencing this with cmd+c / cmd+v in OS X, then this is occurring outside of Alfred's scope.

 

Out of interest, when you copy the URL, what are you seeing in Alfred's clipboard history?

 

Cheers,

Andrew

Sometimes Alfred has 2 entires in the clipboard history time stamped the exact same time, one with the characters after the ? and one without the characters. It does not seem consistent. I will watch for it closer when I see the behavior.

Do you use any browser plugins or third-party clipboard tools? As Andrew said earlier, Alfred doesn't interfere with the content copied, so in all likelihood, something else on your Mac is modifying the text you're copying to clipboard.

 

Take a look at whether it happens specifically in certain apps/browsers or across your Mac; This may help you identify which other tool/plugin might be making these changes.
