Make Steam (keyboard) copy paste function reliably.

[Aliquis Freedom & Ethnopluralism]

I don't know if this is an issue with this platform (AM2+, AMD Athlon64 and Phenom, USB keyboards) or performance (USB and weak CPU and polling) or software (Windows on that platform? Steam specifically?) though I feel it's waaaay more common with Steam / only happening on Steam.

The thing is that copy paste doesn't really work with the Steam chat window. Just occassionally.

Often when I select some text in a chat tab in Steam and copy the text and then went to another tab and paste it there I get some old copied content instead of the new one. And it may happen again and again. Of course eventually it may also work. Possibly from right clicking and choosing copy instead of using ctrl-c on the keyboard. It's possible it's connected to whatever you are showing notifications like invites to a game or if that tab have had one such invite or something. Because sometimes one definitely CAN copy content. It's just that it doesn't work reliably and often mess up.

It's happening with Steam a lot.
I can't really remember it happening somewhere else but keypresses are definitely lost or thrown around in order every now and then so I don't trust keyboard input in general. I don't know why that happen. It's a Cooler Master keyboard with nkey rollover support on USB on a pair of ASUS AM2+ boards. Keyboard should be in 6 key / BIOS compatible mode now but it happen there too. No idea if it support acting as a PS2 one or say whatever it can have a very small / no buffer for keypresses or whatever.

I word it vaguely on purpose because I'm not sure and open for possibilities rather than the other person.

As much as I know copy and paste using the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V is something windows handle for the most part
It is possible that Steam is doing something to get on its way, but I don't really think that

I use a text to speech software called Natural Reader it lets me mark stuff then press Ctrl+F9 to hear it playback to me

Sometimes like the copy you said, it seems to not be able to find the text
So overall I really think it's not a Ctrl+C issue but a focus issue, as in something takes the focus from Steam after you mark, so when you do the Ctrl+C you are not really marking anything
The issue is I am not sure what creates that, and that may need to be found

Besides that just to wonder do you do Ctrl+C 4 times? I find it overall as good practice I remember few times that windows just missed my Ctrl+C



And what I meant before is don't even reply to someone going off topic, you go too much with it, and the topic may be closed

I Deal With Consequences.

Though of course sometimes I'd wish I was free to grant others their. Which I guess I am. But not without consequences to me :p
