Hi Scott, Yes. Several times a week. I'm still on NB8.2 and it's always happened. Win10 Pro FWIW. Across 3 screens I'll normally have NB82, IntelliJ, and Notepad++. When NB copy/paste gets stuck I try some random combo between these 3 apps and it works again. I've never recognised a rhyme or reason and it's only NB that has had the issue. I'm so used to this behaviour it's just a quirk I am near immune to.
