Layout Object Not Copyable

[ralph.nusser]

I have CHAR 1 to CHAR 10 as layout object.

I could not copy and paste it with FM11 WIN and FM11 MAC.

Isn't that a good thing? After all, these characters are non-printing codes and they make no sense in a text object, AFAICS.

Anyway, I believe clipboard formats were changed in v.11, and all these characters except Char(9) are illegal in XML - which I think is what the internal FM clipboard is using.

You can still paste to another application and back from there.

If there are restrictions with certain characters the exceptions should be documented. AFAIK this is undocumented behavior – trial and error with UTF-8 testing.

Inadvertently in the attachment there are ["junk" (COMMENT)] alias "illegal" characters in the formula (e.g. CHAR 11).

P.S.

You almost had me concluding this was a bug. You really ought to be more careful about pasting junk into a calculation formula.
