BUG: Incomplete Edit Menu in QuickBasic 1.0b/1.0e Compiled Pgm
Last reviewed: January 12, 1995

Article ID: Q69161

SYMPTOMS
If you compile in Microsoft QuickBasic version 1.0b or 1.0e for Apple Macintosh using the run-time options &quot;Use Default Window&quot; and &quot;Use Default Menu,&quot; then the Edit menu in the compiled application will contain the usual Undo and Cut options but may be missing the Copy, Paste, and Clear options on certain Macintosh computer models.

This happens only when running an application compiled under QuickBasic version 1.0b or 1.0e on certain Macintosh computers (listed below). The problem does not occur for applications compiled under QuickBasic versions 1.0 and 1.0a. The problem does not occur in any version of the interpreter.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Microsoft QuickBasic for the Macintosh versions 1.0b and 1.0e. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
