Hi, I am having the similar problem with copy and paste. This mostly happens when I have two NetBeans instances opened. Say 12.2 and 12.3. I am using both Oracle Java 8 64bit and OpenJDK 11 64bit. And how do I resolve this issue? I open an empty notepad. Copy text from NetBeans to Notepad. And then copy another text from notepad to NetBeans. Repeating this once or twice usually solves the problem.
