It could be the same issue.  It probably is, but the user that reported that 
indicated nothing was pasted... maybe they had never copied anything yet from 
within NetBeans?  I get a paste, just not of what is in the System clipboard... 
it’s like NB has it’s own idea of what is in the clipboard, separate from the 
OS.


I can’t be sure if it is a Java issue, as I have never noticed it in any other 
Java application.. but then I don’t run many other Swing apps that I paste into 
frequently. (I use JavaFX for my own GUIs these days.)
If this is a Java issue, it is probably specific to Swing. When it happens it 
only effects one particular java process... I can past to other Java apps that 
are using a Java FX GUI when NetBeans shows this problem.

I wonder if there is a system property that can be set to get some debug 
logging from Swing that might be relevant?
