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:
