Sue Moseley 0 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 For the past 2 - 3 days Web Clipper has been popping up randomly and trying to take clippings of my screen. This is happening despite the fact I have closed Evernote and closed down the system tray icon. It is only happening when I type. Typing one single short paragraph on a FB post can involve shutting down an unwanted web clipper pop up 3 or 4 times. I am having to deal with this more than 50 times a day. This has only been happening for a few days, so I'm wondering if this has been caused by a bug in an update. I am running Windows 8 (not 8.1) and I only use Chrome for general browsing. Anyone else having this issue? Link to comment
C6REW 416 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Hi Sue and welcome to the forums, Found the same happening. If you open up the clipper and go to settings you will find that the ' is the culprit as it is now the shortcut to open the clipper. Change it to something else you don't use. I chose # Best regards Chris Link to comment

JaggedTech 0 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I am having a similar problem. In chrome (I have not tried other browsers yet) when I am typing in a text box on a forum every time I hit the delete key a web clipper page comes up. Very annoying. How do I stop that from happening? Interestingly, I tried the delete key on this page while typing this message and the problem did not happen. Link to comment

Jensmom 0 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Glad to see I'm not alone. I began noticing this in Gmail and on Facebook, but I'm finding it seems true anywhere (using Chrome, at least) that just typing the letter w is opening my clipper. Where can we adjust settings? I've looked around a bit and, although I found a place to adjust some shortcuts, I cannot see a place to adjust a shortcut for opening the web clipper. It is extremely annoying. Apparently, I type tons of w's. Link to comment

Jensmom 0 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks so much, Chris. You know, I had looked there but when I looked again I saw that there is a whole separate column for shortcuts that I completely missed. Duh! So glad to have that fixed! Link to comment
DavidEarl 0 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Me too. Editing in a TEXTAREA, typing single quote causes web clipper panel to pop up and take focus from the page. This shouldn't happen when typing in a form, even if quote is the shortcut. There was a problem a while back where it did this in GMail, but they were using a DIV which was editable, but this is a standard TEXTAREA. Link to comment
