Research direction

Start by reproducing the copy-and-paste steps with Mouse Without Borders and Microsoft Excel or WPS Excel on Windows 10 or 11, including same-PC worksheet and workbook copies. Compare clipboard behavior across the listed scenarios and inspect the uploaded MouseWithoutBorders.zip report for clues. Done means copied cells remain editable cells and can overwrite target cells rather than being pasted as pictures.
