I too used windows for several years (linux now, it's wonderful and no
more cygwin), I don't recall having seen this issue. But I use jVi which
has it's own cut/paste handling that behaves like vim's (there's even a
flavor so blockmode copy/paste works between vim/jVi). Otherwise
clipboard interfacing is as simple as can be.
My experience would support legacy/ancient code being involved.

The last time I looked into it, there seemed to be some workarounds in
NetBeans for ancient Swing clipboard issues that probably don't apply
anymore. I think NB is doing something weird with the clipboard.
I'm primarily developing on Linux now, so I'm spared from this issue. But
when I worked on Windows it happened all the time. It was a weekly
annoyance.

I do have a question. How many people actively working on NetBeans do
this in a Windows rather than Linux or MacOS operating system?
I believe most NB maintainers are indeed not using windows as their
primary OS, those who are might not be able to reproduce it given that
it shows some symptoms of a race condition (but it could be something
else).
It's not just about who is working on Windows, either, but whether
they can reproduce the problem. While my primary development platform
is Ubuntu, I've got development and testing machines on Windows and
macOS. I've tried multiple times to reproduce this, including using
the automated test in that issue (Ken, please look at that too). My
system simply never shows the problem.
I think Michael is right to suggest a race condition is in play here.
That enabling fine logging mitigates the issue for many would suggest
timing. However, the logging also has side effects, which eagerly
acquires the data in the clipboard, which could also be affecting the
outcome.
Also, let's not assume that this is unique to NetBeans or even a bug
in NetBeans itself! https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-5980/
Best wishes,
