Text gets pasted when objects get copied or selected
I have iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019), the latest OS BigSur 11.2, memory 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, video card Radeon Pro 580X 8 GB. The latest regularly updated version of Illustrator (25.1) and since last year or some I noticed that once in a while there were problems with clipboard memory.
Whenever you copy or just select some object on artboard, immediately you get a garbled text box pasted. Very nasty, and after the latest update it has gotten considerably worse. Now I literally cannot simultaneously select several objects without having this garbled block pasted. So I cannot align several objects basically, as it immediately after selection pastes to new appeared garbled text block, abandoning selection that I made. Years ago I never had this issue on Macs or Windows...

Hi! Yeah, I can tell. I remember mentions of a similar behavior, but couldn’t find other reports. In my memory the screenshots were quite dates, from CS era. Glad it’s gone.

Egor, greetings and salutations! I cannot recall how I resolved it, but after so many updates it went away eventually... May have been a glitch... I am glad it is gone though, it totally drove me nuts

Yury, do you still have this issue on your new M2 Ultra Mac Studio with Ai 30.1?
The text seems to be a copy of the text on canvas, but typed in a different layout, with some characters misplaced... odd!
Did or do you have any clipboard managers installed? What are / were your Clipboard Handling settings in Preferences?(Edited by admin) -

I have iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019) running the latest BigSur 11.1, Illustrator the latest version 25.1. For the last year or so I was upset by glitches while working with complex shapes. In recent weeks it became so severe as to stop my work completely. Whenever I copy an object, especially several objects, it immediately pastes a text block with gibberish. I turned off "including SVG code" in clipboard handling option yesterday and it helped for some time, now it came back with full force.
