MATLAB: No pasting allowed in “Matlab Answers”

matlab answerspasting

The editor for Matlab Answers apparently no longer allows pasting text from another source. I commonly will write notes to myself, and then use that content to submit to this forum. Why shut down this functionality???

Followup: I found that this limitation occurs when using the latest Firefox browser in Mac OS. It is not a problem with the Google Chrome browser.

You can paste. We do it all the time. However, you have to use keyboard shortcuts:
  • Copy: ctrl+c
  • Cut: ctrl+x
  • Paste: ctrl+v
On a Mac, replace ctrl with command.
What appears in the rt-click menu in a browser is context driven by the browser and not a choice made by MathWorks.
