Same here, on Windows 10. I tend to be pasting between NetBeans, Chrome, jEdit 
(another Java app), and Microsoft Word. But it's a bug I see only once a month 
or so, so it's never been much of a problem in my case.

Yup, that's what I usually do. Sometimes I end up restarting NetBeans.

Feel free to open a JIRA issue for this.

Subject: Re: System Clipboard issues

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.

Thanks,
-Damian
