Did this work with v2.3.3?

bizarronot commented 2 years ago

I uninstalled 2.4.0 and removed all the program files on each system. I tried again using 2.3.4, didn't work. Then on 2.3.3. Also didn't work. I'm not entirely sure what to do. Steps to repeat

copy any text from windows 10
paste text into text box in Messages app on Mac
see chinese characters worth noting that pasting images works fine

This also affects the synergy folks.

Suspected unicode issue.

What kind of debug information of the paste buffer data and metadata is available for Barrier? It'd be nice to see what it sees on each node, when it sees it in the paste buffer.

Cheers, Joe
