I am trying out V9 in order to get the autosave feature. I'm using V7 now with no problems, but I want this new feature. BUT I can't use it because I can't copy/paste into RootsMagic version 7, my genealogy program. It's not a general problem -- I've only noticed it in this program. Paste seems to work in the latest version of Roogsmagic (which is written in another language) but I don't want to use RootsMagic version 9.
I get the message
paste
cannot open clipboard
access is denied
V9.5 Paste problem

Re: V9.5 Paste problem
If TextPad cannot open the clipboard, another process on your computer must have it open. Try closing other programs until the paste works.
Re: V9.5 Paste problem
I guess I did not explain it well. The OTHER PROGRAM cannot access the clipboard. If I close textpad 9 the other program can open the clipboard. No problem from within textpad with opening the clipboard. Textpad apparently has it locked. As soon as I close textpad V9, paste works fine in my other program. It does not lock paste from all programs. No problem with Textpad 7. The textpad version is 9.5.0.
Re: V9.5 Paste problem
I've checked that text copied from a document in TextPad 9 can be pasted into MS Word, Outlook emails, Firefox and Edge browsers, and Notepad. How are you doing the copy?
Note that TextPad 7 puts 8-bit ANSI encoded text on the clipboard whereas versions 8 and 9 put 16-bit Unicode text.
