When pasting a string of characters many are transformed cap->lower case numbers missing, other changes. Here's some examples:

  1. randomly generated string
  2. pasted into mac notes app
  3. pasted into windows 10 login

So it is working at least to paste within mac applications but something happens to the text when pasted into the windows 10 login prompt running on parallels.

No good news...

I can reproduce the problem in Parallels Desktop 9 as well.

You might have noticed that when pasting those strings into a Windows VM the caret moves randomly here and there. I figured this happens only when a string contains a number and the old version of Force Paste should not have this problem.

But I haven't been able to find a workaround for uppercase. I think it might be caused by this bug in Parallels Desktop:

I tried simulating caps lock, shift down etc., no dice.
