Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Platform
Operating system and version: Win10 2004
OBS Studio version: 25.0.8(64bit)
Expected Behavior
When created a web browser source and click on "interact", I should be able to copy and paste information into the web browser source.
Current Behavior
I can not copy and paste into or out from the web browser source.
Steps to Reproduce
Additional information
I'm using ACT and WebSocket to show some data through web browser source, I have to copy and paste my setting into the window and the setting can only be copy and pasted since the web browser source does not support IME.
If not fix, basically the ACT and web socket is not usable for me.
What is "ACT" in this context? And by "no longer supported", are you saying it was supported in a previous version?
Is this a situation where your use case would be better served by window capturing a browser?

This is a reference on your forum, those people have a similar problem. This feature behaves properly on 25.0.1 and was broken since 25.0.2
ACT is a software that I use to track my DPS when playing final fantasy XIV

Basically I need to display the kagerou overlay on obs with game capture.
I can try window capturing a browser, but this means that I will always have a browser tab opened and when I use ctrl + tab, I can always see it. It is annoying.
I also have tried window capturing a browser.
I need the window to be transparent and it is an overlay on my game.
As you can see, the left side is window capture of a browser, the center one is the web browser source. I need it to be transparent to let my viewer to see things behind the overlay.
Took a lot of working, but I've traced this back to https://github.com/obsproject/obs-browser/pull/206
The patch looks like it hadn't been tested on windows, and replacing code with
nativevalues has broken it for windows users.I was able to fix this issue by altering it's logic back to keep the window modifier value, instead of forcefully using the linux native value
Going to move this to the obs-browser repo, as this issue is with obs-browser specifically.
not fixed in 26.0.2 hotfix
Fixed in #236 - this'll be available in the next major OBS version. Thanks for reporting!
This doesn't work on macos. Pasting on Windows works, but setting the clipboard contents in javascript does not.
A year later and it still doesn't work on macOS.
Should probably make a new issue for it if that's the case
@dustindmiller Please open a new issue in that case. I believe that problem isn't directly related to this issue, but rather might be a result of the broken macOS hotkey system.
@gxalpha Done.
