Re: st: Copy Paste Issue Do-File Editor and Command Window

[Sergiy Radyakin <serjradyakin@gmail.com>]

Ven, you should definitely be able to copy-paste within the same do-editor.

Stata is using Scintilla for text editing in do-editor. You may want
to check if the component works without Stata. E.g. try SciTE.

Finally, check you don't have anything like this:

Then contact tech-support.
