the new data base does or does not use my(or anybody's) editors
This doesn't clarify anything for me. It seems to use everybody's editors except yours, and it is difficult for me to understand how "a new data base" would affect cut/paste or copy/paste operations which I understood to be GUI operations. Finally, a list that includes "Kwite, Leafpad, AntiX, MX-15, Plasma 5 Kubuntu, Iceweasel and FireFox" (so 3 OS's and 4 applications) has no inherent sense for me.
Production: 5.10, MX-23 Xfce, AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core, GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2, 16 GB, SSD 120 GB, Data 1TB
Personal: Lenovo X1 Carbon with MX-23 Fluxbox and Windows 10
Other: Raspberry Pi 5 with MX-23 Xfce Raspberry Pi Respin

I think something is wrong with his clipboard. perhaps he is using all the other stuff if virtualbox and trying to copy and paste into different system instances. that doesn't work unless you have the bi-directional clipboard enabled and the guest editions installed. even then, the bi-directional clipboard doesn't work quite right in antiX anyway (lacking a full DE, which VB seems to expect).

in any case, the forum software exists completely on the internet and has nothing to do with copy and paste on a client system. when you cut and paste, you are actually just interacting with your web browser, not the forum software directly. so zeeone has something going on that is a mystery.

It works under MAC, not under any of my Linux installs, missing something on them. :popcorn:

64-bit Pale Moon -- Not logged in yet to forum, reading different posts, no choice to answer except use "Post Reply"
button. If the "Post Reply" button is clicked, one is taken to the "Log On" Page to log on, then returned to the
"Post Reply" page. It is at the page my favorite editor will not work in "Copy and Paste" mode. The editor says yes it
is however, the page says yes I am receiving and no I will not paste it or do an icon.

When logged in and choose a post, you will be taken to the last post with a "Quick Reply" open window. There the editor
can "Copy and Paste" mode from the editor can be used. Then there is two buttons "Full Editor & Preview" and "Submit".
If you are done with your entry then click "Submit" but, if you want to add some icons or an attachment then click on
"Full Editor & Preview" and be moved to, ta-da, the "Post Reply" window and do the additions you want, click "Submit"
and there is your name in lights. :popcorn:

zeeone, I tried your procedure in Firefox. I had no issues pasting in some text copied from another app.
