The context menus for Copy/Paste worked just fine between instances. Inherantly i seldom use kbd shortcuts in windoze and never checked them but I think everything is/was (see below) just fine in that respect.
Now, after the repeatable steps I listed previously, I cannot see the Empeg's IP in the clone's "Looking for Empegs..." window no matter what I try. This is different to last night when it was very repeatable in terms of connecting to the clone and presently I cannot explain why things are different now. I installed ver. 34 after I observed this - no change.
As an aside: This must be an isolated problem, surely almost everyone copies & pastes between windows to avoid all the vertical scrolling in just one window?
