Copy/Paste behaves really strange in Wix Editor

Discussion:
Since today I can not properly copy/paste anymore in Wix Editor. When I paste something it does not only paste my copied content but also it pastes an earlier copied object. Really strange. Anybody had this issue? Any idea how to solve it?

What are you trying to achieve:
I want to copy/paste as normal

Additional information:
Wix standard editor on Microsoft Edge

Same problem here! Any solution yet?

same problem here - whyyyyyyy?

Same problem here, and it’s been going on for some time. Some days it works fine. Others, like today, it won’t work at all. Not with the mouse and and not with Ctrl+C Ctrl+V. It’s getting frequent enough that I’m really considering another platform. I use this function a lot, and something as simple as copy/paste should be a non-issue.

I have tried using Chrome and Firefox. Same issue regardless. Same issue after immediately shutting down and restarting the computer. It’s not the computer and it’s not the keyboard or mouse. IT APPEARS TO BE WIX. I can open Canva and copy/paste all day long. Switch back to WIX and NOTHING WILL COPY. The “paste” option is not clickable. Using keyboard alternatives doesn’t work.
FIX THE PROBLEM!!!

Same exact issue for me. It’s really impossible to use to share links… Wix should really look at this issue ASAP.

Workaround solution: Publish your changes + hard refresh.

Copy-paste then behaves normal again, but just for a while. Wix should still look into it.

Same problem here, just got used to with right mouse menu Copy Paste seclection :smiley:

Hi Smens and friends ! Untill Wix fix the issue, here are the 2 steps:
1-Publish or Save your work
2-Refresh your page on your browser (or press F5)
It works fine for me, hope it helps !

I’m experiencing the same issue. It’s really making it difficult to share links. Wix should address this problem as soon as possible.

Same here. But I can’t save anything as the screen suddenly goes blank and I have to refresh it. It starts on the home page, though. Really annoying! I use mainly Safari but it seems the browser is not the problem but Wix studio.

If this is still happening, it sounds like a bug that should be reported to Customer Care through the steps outlined here - Wix Studio - How to report a bug

Wix Editor

I have a lot of issues with Safari just blanking my pages mid edit, on my M4 Mac while editing in Wix. less issues on a PC.
I think the Safari issue is to do with how it throttles cpu usage. Wix is a monster.

Not had the copy paste issue described here, but I do get a lot of annoying quirky behaviour when it comes to copy and paste on either machine. It is very buggy., like font changes, even though the text setting remain the same, Desktop elements look ok after a past but the Mobile version’s widths display as -0 in the view and go out of view. ( if any one gets that fun issue, don’t wast time trying to fix the mobile version. Go back to the Desktop, copy the element again (with changes if done) and paste again, in my case the mobile version corrected itself.

I have to clean the cache every hour, otherwise Wix will have more issues like cascading up when working on the mobile. Who has ever heard of cascading up? This is ridiculous! But copying even within one size must be a bug. I also had these -something issues.
This is my first site on Six Studio. I can’t imagine making more here. Never had these issues with Webflow, not even with Squarespace.

Cascading upwards should generally only happen in 2 cases - data changes (changing an element’s link or the source of an image for example) or structural changes (for example, when you stack elements together or move an element to a different cell, you’re changing the page structure and it is reflected across all breakpoints).

I’d recommend taking a read over this article - Studio Editor: Designing Across Breakpoints | Help Center | Wix.com.

As I mentioned, if this isn’t the case, it’s something that’s worth reporting via the steps outlined here.

My Mac Command C&V (copy and paste) suddenly goes crazy. Instead of copying and pasting some code, it copies the last page element that I duplicated on the web page. If my page is minimised at first I don’t notice, but then find I have a dozen duplicated check boxes for example. Sometimes Command C&V opens a completely different web page. I go back to the page I was working on and often find a duplicated page element too. Interested to know how this got through the Wix testing systems without being noticed.
