Thanks @Speedie.  Smiley
@MagicSmoker, For your efforts and other reasons posted before we take your posts very seriously.


Even when I'm not entirely thrilled about doing something I still try to do my best.

But just to clarify, note that Speedie's suggestion worked for pasting the seed and/or password into the text entry fields of the wallet, but "normal" copy and pasting (either ctrl-v or right click/paste) still do not work.

Also note that Speedie's trick is how you had to paste text into a command window back in Windows 7, so this is a 9 year old trick, more or less. Not something that sprang to my mind to try until Speedie mentioned it.



The reason ctrl-c/ctrl-v doesn't work in command prompt is due to the fact that ctrl-c is actually used as a command when using a CLI. CTRL-C is "break" in DOS and this is not a limitation of the wallet software but a limitation of command prompt itself. In most Linux distributions right clicking on highlighted text is interpreted as copy and you can right click to paste. Windows just doesn't do that in my experience, you have to right click on the title and select mark, go to edit-> copy/paste.

edit : the "break" command is used to kill whatever process is running so it will essentially close whatever program you have open/running in DOS.
