Both directions to/from a NetBeans editor to/from something outside. Not consistent, but frequent enough - multiple times a week.
It seems when this occurs it is like the NetBeans editor has a private clipboard. Pasting outside NetBEans pastes the last thing copied outside of NetBeans. Pasting within a NetBeans editor pastes the last thing copied from a NetBeans editor. Very frustrating when you are trying to copy to an email or a remote desktop session, or between stack overflow etc...
