Here’s a perplexing Copying and Pasting issues that we had recently come across\u00a0in relation to copying and pasting other computers clipboards without any clipboard sharing software installed. \u00a0This was a security issue as one could imagine. \u00a0This was also happening between Windows and Mac Computers.<\/p>\n

Issue<\/h2>\n

When pressing Control + V or right clicking and pasting on your computer the clipboard from another computer on the same network is pasted.<\/p>\n

Diagnosis<\/h2>\n

After much verifying of software installed on each of the computers to ensure there was no rogue software installed which could be causing this issue we took a look at software which was common on each of the computers. \u00a0Because the issue was present across both Mac and Winodws computers it made it a little bit easier. \u00a0Apart from Microsoft Office the one program we found in common was Teamviewer.<\/p>\n

What we found was that each of the computers were connecting in to a remote computer in order to monitor a piece of production software. \u00a0What was happening was the built in Teamviewer Clipboard Synchronization was sharing the clipboards across all the connected computers.<\/p>\n

Resolution – Disable Teamviewer Clipboard Synchronization<\/h2>\n

\"Teamviewer<\/a><\/p>\n

Windows<\/h3>\n

Step 1. Open the Teamviewer window and select Extras and then options<\/p>\n

Step 2. Select Advanced<\/p>\n

Step 3. Click on the button \u201cShow advanced options\u201d<\/p>\n

Step 4. \u00a0Scroll down to option \u201cClipboard Synchronization\u201d and uncheck this option<\/p>\n

Mac<\/h3>\n

Step 1. Whilst the Teamviewer windows is active click on Teamviewer and then Preferences<\/p>\n

Step 2. From the window that pops up click on advanced<\/p>\n

Step 3. Uncheck Clipboard Synchronization<\/p>\n

Hopefully this helps someone out there that has had a similar issue.<\/p>\n
