"Use Paste Special Options on Paste" setting is ignored

[B. J. U.]

Simple question. This seems broken.  When I set Preferences | Customizaton| Editing | "Use Paste Special Options on Paste" it has no effect with CTRL-V (Paste).

  When I toggle it I can see the registry setting change back and forth but the editor seems to just ignore this setting.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core->UsePasteSpecialOptionsOnPaste

Anyone else experience this?  Am I missing something?  Known bug?

Thanks

This sounds similar to an issue I am having and that I have reported to support.

In my Paste Special Options, I have “Paste into Existing clips ” enabled.

I also have "Use Paste Special Options on Paste" checked in Preferences | Customizaton| Editing.

Yet, when I paste a clip, that clip pastes as a new clip. This is contrary to the setting in Preferences | Customizaton| Editing.

It is only after I open the Paste Special dialogue box and then cancel, that the setting Paste Special Options is used.

I have logged this with Cakewalk support.  You might want to do the same as it does sound similar to my issue.

Thanks for the resonse . @Promidi  Your issue is different than mine.  (I don't experience your issue). 

After a bit more RTFM I can find nowhere in the docs that says the "Use Paste Special Options on Paste" when checked will cause to options dialog to pop on Ctrl-V (i.e. "Ask every time").  I did however find that using Ctrl-Alt-V (and Ctrl-Alt-C) instead does in fact "Ask every time".  Problem solved.

(This must be a feature change that occurred over the years because I know I used to depend on that through the Home Studio / Cakewalk / Sonar eras.)
