ClipMate FAQ

The "fast scroll" problem happens when applications auto-paste data into themselves, usually into a buffer for inspection. This often does something really important (excuse the sarcasm) like turning a paste menu or button on or off. 

Starting with ClipMate 6, the "powerpaste shield" option can sometimes defeat the clipboard snooping - but not always. You can try turning it on or off, to see if it improves the situation. See tools | options | pasting.

Otherwise, you need to disable the clipboard monitoring in (or shut down) whatever program is monitoring the clipboard.  Usual culprints are FTP clients, "download helpers", PGP clients, the Office2000/XP clipboard, Copernic, any any other clipboard-aware programs such as clipboard spellcheckers, printscreen utilities, etc.  Remote Desktop applications often do this too, and usually have an option to sync the clipboard between sessions - turn it off.

Some specific programs known to cause this:

• Copernic
• CCED by http://www.cced.com.cn/
• Office Clipboard - see instructions to turn off.
• Tab Browser Extensions (TBE) by Hiroshi (Mozilla/Firebird) - instructions to turn off
• PowerPro
• emule - http://www.emule-project.net/ (can be turned off in User Preferences)
• USDownloader
• FlashGet / FlashGot for FireFox
• Google Earth - why in the world does THAT need to monitor the clipboard?
• iTunes
• Any sort of Remote Desktop
• Macro Programs
