Visual Studio 2022 clipboard - intermittently missing columns of text when copying-CodePudding

The Steps taken above:

Highlight a small bit of code with the mouse

Copy to the clipboard (done via the menus for clarity in the example above, but more usually by pressing Ctrl C)

Paste the text back into the editor, only to discover that some of the text is missing (usually one or more "left columns" of text). The code is therefore invariably broken.

Confirm by pasting the text into Notepad that the text wasn't there in the first place (so it's a Copy problem, not a Paste problem)

Has anyone seen this before, and knows how to fix it? It doesn't happen every time, or for every block of code.

CodePudding user response：

Seems like the copy is attempting to do a vertical aligned copy and chopping off the text which falls before the starting point of the copy location for each subsequent lines.

Start the copy rubber-banding at column 0 of the first line and drag to the end location instead.

To be clear a vertical copy is done by holding down the alt key when setting up the region to copy. This is not such a copy.
