The process stays the same in 4, and works fine (at least for me). Some
questions:
Have you updated recently or has this never worked on this laptop? 
What application are you using? 
Do you get the notification on Ctrl+Shift+c ? 
Have you confirmed that ctrl+c is copying? 
What happens if you copy using the Menu item?
If you changed the policy to specifically allow between named qubes does
that make a difference?

I have seen issues sometimes in xterm, but never when using libreoffice
or gnome-terminal and copying using Menu.
