I know it probably is the same as before, but today it seems worse in 12.4 beta 2 than it was in 12.3.
Cut and paste is such basic functionality that when it doesn’t work it is a major source of frustration. Today I have been fighting cut and paste not working with NetBeans 12.4 beta 2 for a few hours. Jumping through hoops to cut some text out of a NetBeans editor and paste it into something else is not how I wanted to spend my morning. This was discussed briefly in early February (see thread “System Clipboard Issues”) It is has been reported here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2159 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2159> Though that description is perhaps incomplete. Both copying from NetBeans and pasting to NetBeans are affected. If you are doing cut and paste entirely within NetBeans you may not see the issue. It is only when you want to cut and paste between NetBeans and an external program that it fails. And it fails very frequently in that case. The sense I got was that NetBeans was trying to work around a bug in the JRE by using it’s own private clipboard. I suspect the original JRE issue is long gone and NetBeans is just creating more problems with an awkward workaround for a problem that isn’t there. Regards, Scott
