If you are using some other browser, there are extra steps involved in copying and pasting.

Copy from an Apps On Demand App to Paste into a Local App

  1. Highlight the text you want to copy to a local application.
  2. In the AppStream navigation bar, click the Clipboard icon, then select Copy to local device. A small dialog box will open, displaying your selection.
  3. Type Ctrl+c on your keyboard. You'll see a checkmark icon as the dialog box fades and exits the screen. It's wise to wait at least five seconds after pasting to be sure the transfer has completed.
