This bug disabled cut and copy (but not paste) on context menus in
releases since about February. It was due to a bug in a patch for
right-click behavior. It should not have been released in that state.
I apologize.
It has been fixed in repository for all current versions (3.7 to the
future 3.10). The fix will be in all future releases. Note that one
must click within the selection to have cut and copy active.

This makes it difficult to cut, copy & paste.
The menu items and shortcut keys still work. The latter are more
convenient for some, but apparently less convenient for others. In
2012, there was dispute about whether to add cut/copy/paste to the
context menu. Since this is the second report of this bug, we know that
some people use them.
