Question

All overlaps when clicking on copy.

Hello everyone,
I have this problem: in worksheets where there are many text areas and calculation areas and some bitmap images, when I select something in a text area and copy it, it happens that the areas overlap, and the images moved downwards followed by a great effort to rearrange everything as before. Is there a remedy for this?
Warm greetings to all members of the community and happy new year.

Can you share an example?

I forgot to mention that I use M15. If it happens only to me, it means that I have a virus and that the norton antivirus does not see. I have the impression that the problem arises when I use special characters such as arrows, operators like implication, equivalence, or set theory symbols like ℤ, ℝ, ℂ, ℕ, and others.

I believe that with such effects one suspects a virus much too quickly - I doubt that such effects, which are also limited to just a single software, can be traced back to a virus.

 

To check whether others are struggling with the same problem, you could post a worksheet that is still OK (!) and provide detailed step-by-step instructions on what to do to produce the undesired effect.

 

As far as I can remember, it has been reported quite often in he past here in the forum that graphics seem to change their position arbitrarily (mostly it was about Prime, but Mathcad also had it). And that in Mathcad unwanted changes in the size of text fields occur when the zoom is not set to 100%, is an old, unsolved problem.
