Thank you for this. However, it appears my problem is not with converting the clipboard from styled text to plain text, but with the "pasteKey" message.
In LC9.0.0 under Windows 8.1, I create a new text stack and add and empty field and place the following handler in EITHER the card or stack script on pasteKey makeClipboardPlainText paste end pasteKey on makeClipboardPlainText local tClip, tRawType if the platform is "MacOS" then put "public.utf8-plain-text" into tRawType -- OSX else if the platform is "Linux" then put "text/plain;charset=utf-8" into tRawType -- Linux else if the platform contains "Win" then put "CF_UNICODETEXT" into tRawType -- Windows end if lock the clipBoard put the rawClipboardData[tRawType] into tClip set the rawClipboardData to empty set the rawClipboardData[tRawType] to tClip unlock the clipBoard end makeClipboardPlainText And set a break point on the call to makeClipboardPlainText instruction. I then switch to another applications with styled text, select the text copy it to the clipboard, return for LC with the insertion point in the field and press Control-V. RESULT: the breakpoint is never triggered and styled text is pasted into the field. If I just have a pasteKey handler with a beep (or anything else) as the sole instruction, the same result, the breakpoint is never triggered. The pasteKey message appears broken under both Windows and OSX (tested under 10.9.5) in LC9.0.0? Can anyone confirm this bug?
