Fault in 'Preferences' > ctrl+c doesn't work anymore

NoAidee

Since a couple of days the ctrl+c command doesn't work anymore. Copying some text only works with the right-mouse button.

When working with Vivaldi as a guest the ctrl+c works fine so it has something to do with my profile.

I restored my profile and also then the ctrl+c works fine but I have to restore so much manually that I 're-installed' my previous one with the ctrl+c issue.

Can I find anywhere a manual over how to edit the profile-file and where/how to find the fault in it ?

@NoAidee Please state your OS and Vivaldi versions when reporting issues.

Edit your forum profile and add it to your forum signature to save us asking.

Ctrl+C is not assignable as a keyboard shortcut. Does it fail everywhere or only on some web pages?

Unfortunately it fails on all pages.

Vivaldi; 7.4.3683.4 (Officiële build) (32-bits)
Revision; 00d0ea93929041c36307b518815f2832be2a4e49
System; Windows 10 Version 22H2 (Build 19045.2965)

@NoAidee Unable to reproduce.

See Backup Vivaldi Data.

Backup your bookmarks, search engines, and any custom thumbnails too.

@NoAidee Tr to reset

Settings → Keyboard → Restore Default Keys
Settings → Keyboard → Browser Priority Shortcuts → Reset to Default

and restart

@DoctorG unfortunately this didn't do the trick

@NoAidee Try Guest Profile and tell if that works.

Please try the troubleshooting steps, including testing in a clean profile and disabling adblocking/extensions:

Hi DoctorG, not meaning to be rude but in my initial post I stated the following;

*When working with Vivaldi as a guest the ctrl+c works fine so it has something to do with my profile.

I restored my profile and also then the ctrl+c works fine but I have to restore so much manually that I 're-installed' my previous one with the ctrl+c issue.*

So as you can see I've already tried the GuestProfile and also a clean profile without extensions. As soon as I copy my preferences into the new profile the issue is back.

There for I asked my fellow forum members ; 'Can I find anywhere a manual over how to edit the profile-file and where/how to find the fault in it ?' ...... and I now realise that it's not the profile file but the preferences file Luckily the title of my question is correct
