I am having problems using Spell Catcher while running PTHPasteboard PRO (pth.com)? When I ask Spell Catcher to "Check Selection" or "Check All" it says "there was not any text in the pasteboard." The interesting thing is that the behavior *just* changed with this update to v10.4. Now the "Check Word", "Lookup" and "Find in References" work! Also the DirectCorrect has always worked.

MacBook Pro, OSX v10.6.7, Spell Catcher v10.4, PTHPasteboard PRO v4.5.5

Strange - not sure what's up. I'll grab the latest copy of PTHPB and take a look. Especially odd given that DirectCorrect works!

Does PTHPB support the Services menu? Does Check Selection work from there? What about from Spell Catcher’s Dock Menu?

OK, installed PTHPB PRO, but can't figure out how to reproduce the problem. If I create a custom window, I can edit (in the right pane), and see no trouble with the selection-based commands in the Input menu, So give me steps to reproduce, keep in mind I'm not familiar with PTHPB at all.

I would be surprised if this problem is actually related to PTH Pasteboard. I am running the exact same configuration and have no problem noticed at all.

I think it's probably something specific about the way the OP's PTHPB preferences or configuration is set, along with the sequence of events regarding how it's being used with Spell Catcher X. Guess we'll know when he replies with the specific details.

Thanks for getting right back to me.


No Services menu from PTHPB, it is a preference panel. I did do a test with TextEdit and the Check Selection Works from the Services panel but does NOT work from either the Dock menu or the Input menu.

Well, this blows my mind. I’ve had this problem on three different machines, two different OSX versions, two different versions of SCX, and several applications (TextEdit, Safari, BBEdit). So I just (famous last words) *assumed* it had to do with PTHB which I have installed everywhere.

I’ll go do a fresh install of everything (starting with the OS) to determine where this problem rears its head. I’m intrigued with the thought that a preference setting might be the key differentiator. Any idea what preference might be involved?

Best place to start is by telling me how to reproduce the problem. Remember, I am not familiar with PTHPB, so tell me how you configure it out-of-the-box, and a step-by-step procedure to illustrate the trouble. Include screenshots if necessary.

I'm not surprised that it could be PTHPB preference-related, it has quite a few governing the behavior of its window etc.
