So I've set this in my netbeans.conf file, but I don't notice anything that stands out in the logging. Which file would it be in messages.log or uigestures? There is nothing relevant in messages.log and uigestures just shows that a paste was attempted - even though the wrong content was pasted (last thing copied from within Netbeans rather than what is on the system clipboard).
This is the record form uigestures: <record> <date>2021-04-29T11:30:43</date> <millis>1619710243434</millis> <sequence>1644</sequence> <logger>org.netbeans.ui.actions.editor</logger> <level>500</level> <thread>26</thread> <message>UI_ACTION_EDITOR</message> <key>UI_ACTION_EDITOR</key> <catalog><null></catalog> <param>java.awt.event.ActionEvent[ACTION_PERFORMED,cmd=Ctrl+V,when=1619710243434,modifiers=Ctrl] on org.openide.text.QuietEditorPane[,0,0,1300x11788,layout=javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTextUI$UpdateHandler,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.0,border=com.formdev.flatlaf.ui.FlatMarginBorder@74a6a46d ,flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,caretColor=java.awt.Color[r=187,g=187,b=187],disabledTextColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=136,g=136,b=136],editable=true,margin=java.awt.Insets[top=0,left=0,bottom=0,right=0],selectedTextColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=187,g=187,b=187],selectionColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=75,g=110,b=175],kit=org.netbeans.modules.editor.java.JavaKit@3c33afe2 ,typeHandlers=]</param> <param>java.awt.event.ActionEvent[ACTION_PERFORMED,cmd=Ctrl+V,when=1619710243434,modifiers=Ctrl] on org.openide.text.QuietEditorPane[,0,0,1300x11788,layout=javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTextUI$UpdateHandler,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.0,border=com.formdev.flatlaf.ui.FlatMarginBorder@74a6a46d ,flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,caretColor=java.awt.Color[r=187,g=187,b=187],disabledTextColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=136,g=136,b=136],editable=true,margin=java.awt.Insets[top=0,left=0,bottom=0,right=0],selectedTextColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=187,g=187,b=187],selectionColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=75,g=110,b=175],kit=org.netbeans.modules.editor.java.JavaKit@3c33afe2 ,typeHandlers=]</param> <param>org.netbeans.editor.BaseKit$PasteAction[paste-from-clipboard]</param> <param>org.netbeans.editor.BaseKit$PasteAction@70200aee</param> <param>paste-from-clipboard</param> </record> Regards, Scott On Thu, Apr 8, 2021 at 4:20 PM Geertjan Wielenga <geertjan.wiele...@googlemail.com.invalid> wrote: > As stated there: “ Please run with logging enabled > (-J-Dorg.netbeans.core.NbClipboard=-1) and attach the > > part of log that records what happened during the broken situation.” > > > Thanks, > > Gj > > On Thu, 8 Apr 2021 at 22:12, Scott Palmer <swpal...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > The discussion on this old bug seems to be most relevant: > > > > https://bz.apache.org/netbeans//show_bug.cgi?id=41098 > > > > Over 16 years ago this was apparently a JDK issue.
