Why is paste in Pages 12.2.1 Monterey not working properly.
I recently upgraded to Monterey and I use Pages version 12.2.1 (7035.0.161). I frequently have the need to copy text from FireFox v 110.0(64-bit) web pages to paste into Pages documents. Since the upgrade I have not been able to paste with or without formatting. I tried all the following:
Force quit pboard in Activity Manager
Start in safe mode then reboot normal
Delete user cache
Created a new user to test
Made sure accessibility settings are not preventing it
Zapped the PRAM
Checked Privacy and Security system preferences for anomalies
I changed the document set-up default printer to HP Laserjet rather than my 44" large format Epson inkjet which is non PostScript printer. Still no joy.
The interesting thing about this is that it seems to be Pages specific. I can paste the same copied text into TextEdit with no issues as well as other applications. I can also copy text from TextEdit and successfully paste in into Pages. I've been able to paste text into this message. So I think we can safely rule out pboard not working. I think it has something to do with FireFox text/rich text/HTML gremlins but I don't know what to do about it.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Cheers
