    [apologies for typo in thread title, can this be fixed by mod??]

    OK, earlier I replied to a thread regarding S3 freezing, and suspected that there could be a connection with a problem I have, which is this copy/paste bug.

    See below......

    Anyhow, I have searched for the specific copy/cut/paste problem, and it seems that this is a separate bug, present from the very start, acknowledged by Samsung, but never fixed.

    It does not seem to be related to the SDS thing.

    It is a known bug, when you use the clipboard for more than 20 cut/paste operations, the phone simply re-boots, dur to the bad coding whereby Samsung did not allow for flushing the clipboard after 20 operations, and just reboots with no warning.....see vid below for example:

    if you use the Samsung keyboard, there is a way to flush/empty the clipboard, but not if you use another keyboard, which I do.

    There are workarounds, like deleting the folders in /data/clipboard...

    but you need to be rooted, and it is a little bit inconvenient.

    see here for more info:

    Does anyone know if there will be a fix to sort this out, it seems extremely lazy of Samsung, as this affects their high-cost premium devices.
