- 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.
