Hi,
Reading the Clipboard when in contains data from Excel is very tricky. Excel uses a technique that populates only partially the Clipboard and add data to it only if this is requested by an application (I simplify but this gives an idea). Trying to read the Clipboard while Excel is writing to it causes this error.
Do you have this error each time you copy a line or only occasionally?
You could try to slowdown QCE when it is reading the Clipboard. Open the QCE ini file (Options, Edit QuickClipboardEditor.ini), under the section "[Delays]", increase the values
GetClipboardFormats_LoopIn=100
GetClipboardFormats_LoopTries=100
to 200 milliseconds, 300 or more to see if it reduce or eliminate the error.
