Has anyone else noticed that sometimes NetBeans refuses to paste text from the system clipboard and instead pastes the last thing copied from within NetBeans?
It seems to be stuck like that until I copy something different within NetBeans. In this last case after I copied the path to the user dir from the about dialog, pasted it in explorer.exe (and accidentally also a NetBeans editor). I then I went back and copied the original value that wouldn’t paste into NetBeans (but did paste into VSCode) and it started working again. I was copying plain text, no formatting, colours, or anything like that. I can’t figure out what triggers it, as most of the time it doesn’t happen. It’s just very frustrating when it does happen. Just happened again.. copying some code from StackOverflow and I try to past into NetBeans but instead it pastes some old thing I copied when in NetBeans. Pasting into other apps give the correct text. I even pasted into notepad and copied it out of notepad to ensure it was plain text, still NetBeans pastes the old data. Copying something in the NetBeans editor doesn’t fix it. Pasting in NetBesns will paste that new content from NB, but when I copy the text from an external app NB still pastes what it last copied from within the NB editor instead. Then I open the NB About dialog and copy something from that. Paste it, then copy from the external app... now it works. It also seems that what is copied from within NetBeans doesn’t make it to the system clipboard as I can’t copy from a NetBeans editor and paste into another app. Copying from non-editor sources in NB works for pasting in other apps. I didn’t find anything in JIRA that looks like this issue, which surprised me as this isn’t the first time I’ve encountered it. (Sorry for no bug report those other times .. just can’t figure out how to trigger it) Regards, Scott --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
