[SA 7.1.246 Pro] - Prompt input box and Paste

[SA 7.1.246 Pro] - Prompt input box and Paste

The input box in the dialog opened by $$PROMPT..$$ does not (always) accept Ctrl+V for paste (however, it obeys Shift+Insert).

Thank you very much for your feedback. I have logged this issue in our bug tracking system

Can you please elaborate a bit more on this issue? When Ctrl+V doesn't work, which editor do you use? which other tabs or windows are open. We need to identify which window intercepts Ctrl+V first before it reaches the input box.

I observed it in SSMS first but cannot reliably reproduce the issue yet. I also use an application that tampers with clipboard and I suspected it could be the culprit here, but after experimenting with it a bit I doubt it is. I closed that app but it did not help. I also restarted SSMS which seemed to work and restarting the clipboard app did not cause the malfunction again. I'll keep trying.

Please check if there any side windows in SSMS, tabs or other active "objects" which may cause the issue. We need to know if and what is there in order to figure out if they interact with the keyboard queue and grab Ctrl+V before SA or remove the keyboard hook for Ctrl+V

This one seems to be gone as well after OS reinstall.

EDIT: or it might have not :( I'm experiencing it again. I'll try to disable some background apps to see its cause.

EDIT2: I disabled the most suspicios three that tamper with hotkeys but the issue still remained.

When this happens again, can you please take a screenshot of the SSMS window, I mean the main one and any panels and dialogs open, but try to do it without switching the input focus. Please send the resulting screenshot to support. Maybe our guys can spot something non-obvious, and/or get a better idea what else to check.

Almost there. Nothing relevant was visible. I created a screenshot when it was working and again at a later time when I noticed it stopped and compared the two pictures (yes, the images), and nothing was there what shouldn't. But it seems that I captured the event after which it happens. I'll have to test it a little bit more but it looks like that both pasting with Ctrl + V and Enter (see here stop working right after I open SA options from the tray (while having SSMS open at the same time), modify something there and press Apply. I haven't tried with OK button yet but I guess it'll be the same.
