Rclone v1.71.0 doesn’t allow pasting text

Suspected Bug

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

rclone v1.71.0 doesn’t let me paste text using Ctrl + V or from clipboard history. Happens with Command Prompt and Powershell

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.71.0

welcome to the forum,

sorry, not able to reproduce with rclone config, using windows terminal, with cmd and powershell.

  1. pasting from ctrl+v works
  2. pasting from clipboard history works

I tried this with Windows 10 and cmd and pasting was OK.

to be clear, you can paste, if you open a new command prompt, without using rclone?

ok, i was able to replicate. imo, this is a not a windows 11 versus windows 10 issue.

before, i was running cmd and powershell inside windows terminal and had no issues.

now, i am running cmd.exe on it own and i cannot paste, using ctrl+v, clipboard history or right-mouse-click.
however, the following does work:

  • ctrl+shift+v
  • keepass autotype

This problem is almost certainly due to this commit, ironically fixing copy/paste!

The fact that we haven't had more issues about this means that there must be some specific circumstances which cause the problem.

I found on Windows 10 I could paste with right click in cmd.exe and powershell. CTRL-V stopped working in powershell though with the new rclone.

I didn't try windows terminal.
