Copy/Paste From Excel To Browser

When I try to copy/paste from Excel to a Handsontable grid in the browser, it fails to copy any of the data and simply blanks out the highlighted cell. We discovered this issue on version 15 but it also happens in 16. This issue is specific to copying a selected cell or group or cells. Copying highlighted text inside of a cell works as expected.

Fiddle: Handsontable example - JSFiddle - Code Playground

Browser: Chrome (145.0.7632.117) (Reproduceable in Firefox/Edge/chrome v144)

OS: Windows 11 24H2 (build 26100.7840) (suspect this may be the issue as the functionality seems to work on a VM running windows server)

Hi @michael.phelps

I wasn’t able to replicate the issue on my macOS, but asked our QA to test it out on his device.

I’ll update you once I get their feedback.

Sorry, I think the issue is actually related to a policy enforcement change our IT team rolled out. I don’t think there’s any issue on Handsontable end. Sorry to bug you with this.

Thank you for the update and for checking into this on your side. I’m really glad to hear your team was able to identify the cause.

Our QA team also did not find anything concerning on the Handsontable side, so it sounds like everything is aligned now and the issue should be resolved.

I’ll go ahead and close the ticket for now. If the policy change ends up not resolving the behavior or if anything else comes up, please feel free to let me know.
