In Excel I try to a column of data to a new column. After selecting the data with SendHotkey (Ctrl+Shift+down) activity I use the Excel shortcut Menu SendHotkey (Shift+F10) then attempt to enter ‘C’ ( Copy ) with SendHotkey (“c”) activity.
The last SendHotkey is giving errors:
Synthetizing keys failure.
Write text failed.

I saw a reference to this being fixed in 18.1 but I am running 18.4.
Are there any further details as to what is behind this issue? Is it still a known bug?
