Randomly after a bit lose the ability to paste into fields

Ask a Question!

Hi, so I've started using Portainer, and it has been pretty good so far, but I've noticed after a bit, I lose the ability to paste when I'm trying to make a new container until I refresh the page. This gets irritating since that means I lose everything I was doing on the container since I need to refresh the page and it doesn't save. Does anyone else have this issue?

Hi!

Can you break down your steps so I can try to replicate this on my side?

How long is it until you experience the issue of not being able to paste into fields, also if you can let me know the browser you are using, and whether are you running browser extensions?

Thanks

So I'm running Edge and I think I narrowed it down.

Steps:
Create a Container or Stack
Go to another Edge Window
Copy Value from Dashlane Extension
Paste Value into Environment Variable Field
Copy Another Value from Dashlane Extension
At this point you will not be able to paste anything into any of the environment variable fields until a refresh

It seems to be something to do with the Dashlane extension. I'm honestly not sure what, I even tested after disabling autofill on the site. But the first paste from Dashlane is slightly delayed, then the second+ just doesn't even work. I think the only field that continues to work before a refresh is the docker-compose editor field. Moving to different pages without refreshing seems to persist the issue as well. The issue isn't specifically environment variable fields, just any of that type (i.e docker image, name, etc)

If the issue you are facing is directly related to Dashlane's clipboard and pasting it into Portainer, then yes, everything here points to Dashlane being the issue, I also noticed Dashlane as a feature that clears your clipboard after time as well.

I tried to reproduce this without Dashlane and I don't have any issues, copying and pasting works just fine into all text fields.

So yeah I think it is Dashlane, but after that copy and paste, copying from anywhere won't allow me to paste into Portainer not only from Dashlane. I can paste whatever anywhere else, just not into portainer. The clipboard contents is still there though.

[Nick-Portainer]

I agree.

If you would like, I would recommend trying a different browser, or disabling the extension and testing copying and pasting in Portainer. That way you can tell if it is Dashlane or not.

But, everything points to Dashlane here :)
