when i do CTRL+C i have this in my clipboard:

<!DOCTYPE PATCH  SYSTEM "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\software\vvvv_40beta23\bin\40beta23.dtd" >
   <PATCH>
   <NODE componentmode="Hidden" id="1" nodename="SubC.v4p" path="C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\CP-Bug_0\C&amp;P-Bug\Subpatches\">

   </BOUNDS>
   <BOUNDS left="270" top="1125" type="Box">

   </NODE>
   </PATCH>

this should be related to https://discourse.vvvv.org/t/5149 and is like this for now.

the error messgage you get says it: SubC.v4p is not available next to the _Root.v4p.
