  YaST is not Linux. You can't blame Linux for the problems of some
third-party software you are running in it.

  In the Windows case in question it was a core feature of Windows.

  And besides, if you don't like how YaST works, take the source and make
it better. Attempt to do that with Windows core features...

  I always copypaste in the same way everywhere. I don't remember a
program where it wouldn't work.

  (Sure, it's not immediately obvious how it's done, I admit that...)
