I found a previous topic about this, but no resolution. Anyway, I’m finding that I am unable to do a normal “Copy” from within FoldingText. Using either Copy from the File menu or the keyboard shortcut does not work - nothing gets saved to the clipboard, and I get the following message in System.log:
5/2/15 6:46:25.783 PM FoldingText[42869]: Can't allocate a new block for a pasteboard. Creation of a new Pasteboard will fail.
The copy as HTML or copy as rich text options do work properly.
I’ve tried relaunching the app, and I do not have any plugins installed. This is on OS 10.10.3, FoldingText 2.0.2.
Thanks for the system log info. I did a google search of that log and this issue seems to be showing up in a number of apps that use a webview, so I don’t think the problem is FoldingText specific. It also doesn’t effect everyone, copy/paste is working fine for me on 10.10.3. Few things to try:
-
Does the problem happen if you run FoldingText from your Guest User account?
-
Generally to you have any pastboard extensions installed, try disabling them and see if that fixes things.
-
This thread https://github.com/trueinteractions/tint2/issues/113 mentions that “Updated command line tools to 10.10 and latest Xcode” fixed the problem for them.

I use Alfred’s clipboard history, but turning Alfred off didn’t fix the issue. In this case, restarting the machine fixed it. I’ve had this happen 2 or 3 other times, always with FoldingText (maybe I’m just not trying to copy in other apps that use a webview? I don’t know…) My Xcode/command line tools are already the latest version.
