DOCUMENT:Q102223 27-AUG-1993 [W_NT]
TITLE :PRB: Pasting to Text-based Applications May Cause Bad Sound
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Garbled sounds may occur when you paste Clipboard text using the
Control menu in a text-based application (for MS-DOS, OS/2, and so
on). This occurs if a menu is open in the application when Edit Paste
is chosen from the Control menu.
CAUSE
=====
When pasting information into a console (text-based application),
Windows NT sends messages to the application as if the appropriate
keys were being pressed to type the Clipboard text directly into the
application. While a menu is open in a console application, the
keystrokes sent by Windows NT actually trigger events in the console
application's menu. Most of the characters in this stream of data may
not have any meaning in the menu structure, they therefore can cause
one or more "Error" beeps.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. From a command prompt, start a text-based application, such as
EDIT.COM.
2. Cut some text from the application by doing the following:
a. From the Control menu, choose Edit.
b. Choose Mark And Edit, and then choose Copy.
3. Open the Control menu again while one of the menus in the
application is open.
4. From the Control menu, choose Edit And Paste.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1
and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
