Pasting from Affinity products problem

#1

I am having a very frustrating problem. I can copy and then paste text from anywhere into Sublime, but I can’t seem to paste text from Affinity Photo or Affinity Designer applications. I first thought that the Affinity apps are the problem, but I have no problem whatsoever pasting text from the Affinity apps to TextEdit, TextWrangler, BBedit, etc, etc. I only have this problem with SublimeText. When I copy text in one the Affinity apps and then try to paste it to SublimeText, nothing happens, no text is pasted.

I browsed this forum and read users proposing to activate logging in the console with “sublime.log_input(True)”. I tried that too. When I paste, I get this message in the log, “key evt: super+v”.

Someone please help, I am going crazy! Thanks!

after copying text from your Affinity apps, what happens if you type the following in the ST console (View menu -> Show Console) and press Enter?

sublime.get_clipboard()

@kingkeith, I tried what you suggested, and I get this:
‘’

It is only two quotes, which I guess means that the clipboard is empty? VERY weird!
