Hi Mike,
Not sure if you checked this or not, but have you made sure that Jaws is set
to copy from the virtual cursor, and not the on-screen highlight?
This setting sometimes gets switched arbitrarily, sometimes without the user
knowing. Admittedly, this has not happened to me in some time, but it might
have happened to you.
You can check this by pressing Jaws key+V, to go to the verbosity options,
and using your arrow keys to arrow down to "Virtual Cursor Options". If the
tree is not expanded, arrow to the right, and down arrow to select and copy.
There are two options, it should be set to copy from the virtual cursor.
Press the spacebar to make the change.

Hi Mike,
Sometimes the verbosity settings prevent JAWS from saying messages like
“Copied selection to clipboard,” but you say that the text is not actually
copied.
If sighted users can copy the text normally, try to press INSERT+3 before
pressing CTRL+C. This prior command will pass the next keystroke (in this
case CTRL+C) directly to the active application as if JAWS were not loaded,
which allows you to determine wetter or not the issue is caused by
assignments in JAWS key map files. If the text is copied correctly by doing
that, check that the CTRL+C keystroke in Default.jkm is assigned to the
CopySelectedTextToClipboard script; if not, assign CTRL+C to this script by
using the JAWS Keyboard Manager.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS not copying text from a web-site.
Good morning all! Using the latest version of JAWS 18, (Build 2945), I'm
encountering an issue when trying to copy text from a web page into a word
document. I am able to highlight the text, but unable to copy and paste it
to my document. When I press Control C, JAWS says nothing, indicating that
nothing has been copied. This is confirmed, when I go to my document and
press Control plus V. The text that I selected does not copy to my
document. A sighted user can copy and paste the text without any problems.
Why is this happening?
