The problem with copy and paste occurs when I have NetBeans, Microsoft Word,
and Notepad++ all open. On a fresh reboot of a Windows system you may be
successful copying either to or from NetBeans. However, this has never worked
more than twice before it stops. It will not work in both directions although
it works fine inside NetBeans. At one time I could copy from NetBeans to
NotePad++ and copy from Notepad++ to Word but the ability to copy to Notepad++
is now hit or miss, mostly miss. My trick of doing a Cut in NB and then paste
into anything else is also intermittent.
To reproduce try this:
Open NB and a project in NB. Open NotePad++ or Word.
Copy just one line of a file from NB to NotePad++ or Word. It should work. Try
a few other lines but just a single line at a time.
Now select and copy 20 or so lines from the NB file. You will not be able to
paste it. Go back and just copy a single line that had worked, and it will no
longer work.
Try Cut, Paste, and then restore the Cut. This may or may not work.
The system I use is an i9 w/ 32 Gig and Windows 11. NetBeans is running under
Java 17 but this was a problem with earlier versions of Java as well.

FYI, jLogman in the plugin portal, can be installed and does not require a NB
restart. Then
1. Tools>ManageLogging brings up a tree table of the loggers, 2. navigate to
org.netbeans.NbClipboard 3. Click in the level column 4. select FINE in the
combo box 5. optional: right click anywhere
navigate/check Configurations > ApplyConfigurationAtStartup
so the logging is enabled after a NB restart
Of course this only gives information after the fact, so who knows if it would
be useful.
Starting logging in netbeans.conf doesn't have a brief gap at startup.
