I just tried -J-Dorg.netbeans.NbClipboard.level=FINEST. It resolved the issue.
Initially I thought it only worked if it was the first switch in the list but it turns out that was my fault. I added the switch at the end of the file by pressing Enter to open a blank line in my editor. In my stupidity I did not notice that I was ending the list of switches when I pressed Enter. So, for about 20 minutes today I thought it only worked if it was the first switch. When I recognized my dumb mistake, all I had to do is add the switch to the list anywhere by inserting it rather than creating a new line. So far, the results are consistent. Ken PS: My editor displayed the conf file with word wrap on. This made it look like most every switch was on its own line and that is why I used Enter to create a space for the switch. PPS: Consider, after suitable testing, making -J-Dorg.netbeans.NbClipboard.level=FINEST a switch in netbeans.cnf by default. -----Original Message----- From: Neil C Smith <neilcsm...@apache.org> Sent: September 3, 2022 5:06 AM To: dev@netbeans.apache.org Subject: Re: Copy Paste still an issue On Fri, 2 Sept 2022 at 18:45, Kenneth Fogel <kfo...@dawsoncollege.qc.ca> wrote: > To reproduce try this: > > Open NB and a project in NB.

It would be easier if it was that easily reproducible! Are you saying that you see this every time? Other people have reported it happening after some time, some not seeing it. Can you try setting some thing in netbeans.conf startup properties? -J-Dorg.netbeans.NbClipboard.level=FINEST Then check messages. Anything odd? Then try adding to that - -J-Dnetbeans.slow.system.clipboard.hack=false and -J-DTopSecurityManager.disable=true separately - not at the same time. Do either/both affect the result?
