  I use Linux Mint operating system and DuckDuckGo browser and SimpleNote for many years. Recently I can not ‘cut’ and ‘paste’ into my SimpleNotes. But these features work fine if I use Chrome. Can anyone explain why this happened, and how to recover the function with DuckDuckGo? Thanks very much for any advice.

  @vibrantdolphin24a7a4c9e8 We’ve had similar issue with Mozilla Firefox.

  The workaround suggested is by using Shift + Ctrl + V. Have you tried that and see if that also works for DuckDuckGo?

  WOW!! Yes in deed that works! It works if a cut or copy from a different document and then paste it into a SimpleNote document using Shift + Ctrl + V. It also works within a SimpleNote document. This was tested using DuckDuckGo. Thank you very much. I hope others with the problem will access this thread.
