I'm not sure if this is the same issue. But I've seen something similar on my
Linux
box. I multi-boot so I can't be completely sure it was my Mageia 5 installation.
which is currently using LyX 2.1.3 as installed from mageia repos with urpmi.
There is a slim chance that I was using antiX or Opensuse when I noticed this.
But
I'm usually using Mageia when I write.
I'm not so sure it ties into how long LyX has been running. But when it happens
the
only available paste option is the paste recent one. In my case it seems to
have more
to do with where I copied/cut the contents of the clipboard from. Usually it
happens
when I use an online dictionary to confirm that I've got the right word.
Typically I
keep browser tabs open to vocabulary.com & yourdictionary.com...
Once I'm sure I have the word I want to use I tend to copy it to the clipboard
rather
than risk mistyping it when I switch back to LyX.
Sometimes it works. Sometimes it won't let me paste it. Which can start
happening
just as soon as I start LyX. But for certain, once it starts happening, it
doesn't
spontaneously resume working correctly.
What I found always works is to switch to a blank leafpad document. Which will
let me
paste the word that LyX wouldn't. Then markall {^a} and cut {^x} switch back to
LyX,
which never refuses to let me paste something from a plain text document.
If I used windows, I'd probably try walking the text through notepad or some
such.
