Copy and paste works between other non-NetBeans applications - only the content to/from NetBeans is effected.
Windows Defender is running, though my code folders are excluded. Restarting Windows at what point? A restart will fix the issue. This doesn’t happen always. I’m not sure what triggers it to happen, but once it starts it will be 100% repeatable until it’s cleared. It seems I can do that by copying from some non-editor window within NetBeans. Remote Desktop may be a factor in triggering it. Of course I’ve been trying to force it to happen since Geertjan asked for the logs, when you want it to happen is when it seems to go the longest without happening :-), typical bug behavior. I’ll throw Remote Desktop into the equation to see if that improves my chances. It fails between local applications when it happens. Remote desktop doesn’t have to be on one side of the copy/paste once the bug starts.
