The copy pane feature is broken.  It does not copy the text.

This does not work:
1.)  Copy something else in another application {ie., have a non-empty
clipboard}.
2.)  Hit copy pane in pov.
3.)  Hit paste in any non-povray application (NOTEPAD, Netscape, etc.)
RESULT:  you get what was in the clipboard **before**.

This will work:
1.)  Copy something else in another application {ie., have a non-empty
clipboard}.
2.)  Hit copy pane in pov.
3.)  Load up an new empty scene in pov.
4.) Hit paste:  RESULT: you get the pane!
5.) Select and copy the paste in pov
6.) Hit paste in any non-povray application.
RESULT: you get the text you selected & copied!

Copy Pane, with either previously empty or loaded clipboard, seems to be
working okay here.

You didn't mention your system specs.

I found this once before and it turned out to be a bug in Notepad, not
in POV.  Unless this is something entirely different.

I've done some looking into this, and have found the following:

  Notepad and various other Microsoft programs (Word, Wordpad) will paste using
  the contents of the 'OEM Text' data in the clipboard, and ignore the contents
  of any 'Text' data.

  Multi-Edit (my programmer's editor), Microsoft Visual Studio, C++Builder,
  Photoshop, and POV-Ray for Windows itself, paste using 'text' and ignore
  'OEM Text'.

The reason that the 'Text' apps can co-operate with the 'OEM Text' apps is that
when they copy data to the clipboard, they place it there in -both- 'Text' and
'OEM Text' format.

So I'll just have to do the same. Sigh.

This didn't help either. Not to be outdone, Notepad decided that once I'd placed
data in both the CP_TEXT and CP_OEMTEXT formats into the clipboard, it would now
ignore them both and take the data from the unicode text format instead (which
still had the old data).

I eventually fixed it by emptying the clipboard entirely before placing the new
data into it (as CP_TEXT).

4.75 suffers the same problem.
