The latter PR from a year ago improved the situation a bit, as it made it possible to work around the issue by fiddling with Copy/Paste in NetBeans a few times, rather than by restarting the entire IDE. But the problem remains, and I was never able to reproduce it reliably--it was always intermittent. If anyone can manage to reliably reproduce the bug, that would probably go a long way towards finding a fix. (I would not be surprised if the bug requires specific other applications to be running at the same time. On my own computer, for instance, I always have Excel and jEdit open, as well as another NetBeans Platform application.) -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Ernie Rael <err...@raelity.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2023 4:11 AM To: dev@netbeans.apache.org Subject: Re: Windows 11 Issues - Copy/Paste Failure 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. -ernie On 23/08/29 6:57 AM, Scott Palmer wrote: > 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.
