Strange behaviour of Multiview (Part 2)

[Raziel]

Hi there,

i found another strange thing i can trigger in Multiview which is probably not meant to happen (but i could be wrong)

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open Multivew with any text or guide file you have.
2) Mark something (even from within Multiview), you can also mark anything, important is, that Clipboard is filled with text
3) Make the Multiview window active
4) Press RAMIGA+V (to paste the clipboard)

Voila, Multiview changes it's window name to "Clipboard" and displays the contents...

While this is a nice effect, i don't really want to lose the original loaded file in Multiview (i have to reload it, to get it back)

Is this behaviour meant to happen and if, what is the benefit of it?

Thanks a lot

I believe that's a new feature. MultiView has always been capable of viewing the clipboard but in the past had to be started with the CLIPBOARD paramter to do so.

I don't really see the benefit but it seems like a harmless addition. It seems like pasting the clipboard contents is more of an editor feature and not a text "reader" function but apparently the programmer thought it might
be useful.
