So even with the -J-Dnetbeans.slow.system.clipboard.hack=false setting in netbeans.conf it still fails. :-( NB 12.4-rc3 JDK 16 (Zulu 16.0.1) Win 10
My netbeans.conf file contains -J-Dnetbeans.slow.system.clipboard.hack=false -J-Dorg.netbeans.core.NbClipboard=-1 My attempts to paste from the system clipboard instead are pasting the last thing copied inside a NetBeans editor. There are no events added to the messages log when I paste. uigestures just shows: <record> <date>2021-05-14T18:41:49</date> <millis>1621032109778</millis> <sequence>2512</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=1621032109777,modifiers=Ctrl] on org.openide.text.QuietEditorPane[,0,0,1657x9742,layout=javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTextUI$UpdateHandler,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.0,border=com.formdev.flatlaf.ui.FlatMarginBorder@3890976b ,flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,caretColor=java.awt.Color[r=187,g=187,b=187],disabledTextColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=136,g=136,b=136],editable=true,margin=java.awt.Insets[top=0,left=0,bottom=0,right=0],selectedTextColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=187,g=187,b=187],selectionColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=75,g=110,b=175],kit=org.netbeans.modules.xml.text.syntax.XMLKit@2f695bbb ,typeHandlers=]</param> <param>java.awt.event.ActionEvent[ACTION_PERFORMED,cmd=Ctrl+V,when=1621032109777,modifiers=Ctrl] on org.openide.text.QuietEditorPane[,0,0,1657x9742,layout=javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTextUI$UpdateHandler,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.0,border=com.formdev.flatlaf.ui.FlatMarginBorder@3890976b ,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.xml.text.syntax.XMLKit@2f695bbb ,typeHandlers=]</param> <param>org.netbeans.editor.BaseKit$PasteAction[paste-from-clipboard]</param> <param>org.netbeans.editor.BaseKit$PasteAction@6479cfd5</param> <param>paste-from-clipboard</param> </record> Regards, Scott On Wed, May 12, 2021 at 4:25 PM Scott Palmer <swpal...@gmail.com> wrote: > Saw this in the logs. i'm running with > -J-Dnetbeans.slow.system.clipboard.hack=false > > INFO [org.netbeans.NbClipboard]: System clipboard not available. > java.lang.IllegalStateException: cannot open system clipboard > at java.desktop/sun.awt.windows.WClipboard.openClipboard(Native Method) > > at > java.desktop/sun.awt.datatransfer.ClipboardTransferable.<init>(ClipboardTransferable.java:77) > > at > java.desktop/sun.awt.datatransfer.SunClipboard.getContents(SunClipboard.java:138) > [catch] at org.netbeans.NbClipboard.getContents(NbClipboard.java:206) > > at > org.netbeans.modules.editor.impl.actions.clipboardhistory.ClipboardHistory.clipboardChanged(ClipboardHistory.java:110) > > at > org.openide.util.datatransfer.ExClipboard.fireClipboardChange(ExClipboard.java:72) > at org.netbeans.NbClipboard.fireChange(NbClipboard.java:326) > at org.netbeans.NbClipboard.flavorsChanged(NbClipboard.java:318) > > at > java.desktop/sun.awt.datatransfer.SunClipboard.lambda$checkChange$2(SunClipboard.java:435) > > at > java.desktop/java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:316) > > at java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(EventQueue.java:770) > at java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue$4.run(EventQueue.java:721) > at java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue$4.run(EventQueue.java:715) > > at > java.base/java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(AccessController.java:391) > > at > java.base/java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(ProtectionDomain.java:85) > at java.desktop/java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:740) > > at > org.netbeans.core.TimableEventQueue.dispatchEvent(TimableEventQueue.java:136) > > at > java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:203) > > at > java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:124) > > at > java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:113) > > at > java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:109) > > at > java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:101) > > at > java.desktop/java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:90) > > I don't know why there would be an issue opening the system clipboard. > Cut and paste is working between apps at the moment. > > Scott > > On Wed, May 12, 2021 at 11:29 AM Scott Palmer <swpal...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Nevermind my request for a disable flag, sorry I'm tired.. forgot the old >> bug database mentioned >> -J-Dnetbeans.slow.system.clipboard.hack=false >> >> trying that... >> >> On Wed, May 12, 2021 at 11:22 AM Scott Palmer <swpal...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> If there is something more I can do please let me know...
