Copy&Paste only works in one direction

Hi, I'm testing CrossOver 22 on Mac and clipboard doesn't seem to function correctly. I can copy text from a Windows app and paste it into a Mac app, but it doesn't work the other way around. When I copy a text in a Mac app, the Windows clipboard is not updated and it still contains the last text copied from a Windows app. I tried this with several Windows applications (Total Commander, Notepad++, even a simple wineconsole) and the situation is always the same.

My environment:
CrossOver 22.0.1.35507
Windows 10 64-bit bottle
macOS Monterey 12.6
2018 MacBook Pro 13-inch, Intel CPU

When I try regular Wine 7.18, copying and pasting works in both directions. Could this be caused by CrossOver using an older Wine version (7.7)?

Hi there,

What Mac app are you copy/pasting into? I can't reproduce this with Pages.

Best,
Meredith

Huh, I can't reproduce it now either. I was pasting to/from Visual Studio Code, but now it's working fine. I wonder if it had something to do with running regular Wine at the same time, but when I try it now (with the latest version 7.19), I still can't reproduce the issue. I swear I didn't make it up, but now it's just gone. Sorry for the false alarm, I guess.

I will revive this topic if I ever figure out how to reproduce it.

Best regards.
Michal

I can not cut and past from a Mac app like Adobe to a windows app quicken. did you get that to work?
