Same here, on Windows 10. I tend to be pasting between NetBeans, Chrome, jEdit (another Java app), and Microsoft Word. But it's a bug I see only once a month or so, so it's never been much of a problem in my case.

Feel free to open a JIRA issue for this. -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Damian Carey <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 3, 2021 10:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: System Clipboard issues Hi Scott, Yes. Several times a week. I'm still on NB8.2 and it's always happened. Win10 Pro FWIW. Across 3 screens I'll normally have NB82, IntelliJ, and Notepad++. When NB copy/paste gets stuck I try some random combo between these 3 apps and it works again. I've never recognised a rhyme or reason and it's only NB that has had the issue. I'm so used to this behaviour it's just a quirk I am near immune to.
