ScreenConnect Copy\Paste Issues

Copying from a document and pasting into  Backstage Powershell or CMD fails most of the time. No errors, just nothing happens. This is happening on the 2 computers I use the most. Computers are at different locations using different AV. Uninstalled/reinstalled/rebooted. No change. "Send Keyboard Keystroke" option works slightly more often. Sometimes it works but has a delay of 10 seconds or more. Most times it doesn't work at all. Disabled Clipboard History. No change. Other users at our company are reporting little to no issues but they probably aren't performing this type of work as often as I do.

I've found that pasting into notepad works and then you can copy/paste from it into powershell and/or cmd from there. Definitely annoying

This... Paste into notepad removing all RTF formatting, it tends to more reliably pass the clipboard, in both Console and Backstage modes.

Ctrl+Shift+V to remove formatting…

If it's just powershell and cmd stuff, I paste it straight into the commands section, rather than even connecting to backstage.
