Hello,

When I use handsontable copy paste functionality in Safari browser - it doesnt work pasting from Excel. The same codebase works when used in google chrome. I remember it worked in a previous version of HOT. I am not using HOT 2.0.0

Need your help to fix this.

THanks

HI @umamakesh.n

can you update the code to v5.0.0 and check if the issue still occur?
We have released the version yesterday and it fixes an issue that sounds very familiar.

#3

Are the example pages in 5.0?

I tried those as well and still the same issue

#4

Are you able to replicate the issue at https://docs.handsontable.com/pro/5.0.0/demo-copy-paste.html ?

If so please share a step by step scenario for me to test

Hi Aleksandra,

Yes I am able to replicate the issue at the link above.

Steps to reproduce

  1. I am using Microsoft Excel 2016 in macOS
  2. Select 2 or 3 rows and press command + S (copy shortcut)
    3a) On Safari, place the pointer in handsontable cell and press command + V (Paste). The cell becomes blank but the data doesnt get copied
    3b) on Chrome, pressing command + V(paste) the data gets copied but its merges both rows as single row.

Please help fix this bug.
