Hi, I have mentioned this before, but the situation is getting worse. More often than not, I must cut the text, paste the text into the external app such as Word, and then restore (Ctrl-Z) the cut text back into NetBeans. This week it started to require this just when I want to copy and paste text between tabs in NetBeans. My uninformed guess is an issue in how NetBeans responds to the Copy command, somehow losing its connection to the Windows clipboard that does not happen if Cut is used.
But wait, there is more. It has become hit or miss to copy from another application into NetBeans. I can get a temporary reprieve by closing and then restarting NetBeans. I do have a question. How many people actively working on NetBeans do this in a Windows rather than Linux or MacOS operating system? I can say that this problem is unique to NetBeans in my Windows 11 environment and has not occurred in any other application or IDE that I have used. I don't think I can file a JIRA ticket because I cannot provide a repeatable example. Here is my environment from the About box: Product Version: Apache NetBeans IDE 18 Java: 17.0.7; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 17.0.7+7 Runtime: OpenJDK Runtime Environment 17.0.7+7 System: Windows 11 version 10.0 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_CA (nb) User directory: C:\Users\omni_\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\18 Cache directory: C:\Users\omni_\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\18 Ken Fogel
