Just had this happen again. This time I couldn’t copy something from a NB editor to paste elsewhere. Sadly I had forgotten to add the login option below since updating to the 12.6 release.
However after restarting the IDE with that logging option … and BEFORE doing any copy/paste operations I do see something interesting in the uigestures log, though I think it may be related to a different issue in the cupboard code: It just so happens that my system clipboard has the path to the NB user dir, as I cut it out of the About window so I could load the log into another editor. Being on Windows this path starts with “c:” Somewhere in the NbClipboard code (NbClipboard$GetContents line 429 -> access$300 line 50 -> logFlavors line 299) it is trying to interpret the string as a URL and is getting an exception claiming, “unknown protocol: c" Likely benign as far as my main clipboard issues are concerned, but since it ended up in the log I figured I would point it out. The log does however appear many many times, even though I haven’t yet done anything other than launch the IDE. 13000 lines in uigestures .. mostly due to 132 reports of “unknown protocol: c" I will try to get useful data for the failing cut/paste issues… Scott On Aug 6, 2021, at 11:27 AM, Geertjan Wielenga <geertjan.wiele...@googlemail.com.INVALID> wrote: will/won’t have. Start with a fresh userdir and a standard NetBeans.conf, just with -J-Dorg.netbeans.NbClipboard.level=FINEST. Then Neil can investigate since he nor I nor others wanting to help can reproduce this so far.

I’m just doing whatever I can to avoid the frustration of a broken clipboard at this point though. You can imagine how infuriating it is when something so basic just stops working when you need it. Restarting the IDE so I can paste something is rather disruptive.

Hopefully the logging if / when it fails may tell us something. Incidentally, your other log output about System clipboard not available is I think because the Windows clipboard can only be opened by one application at a time. Not sure if it's related or not.
