A work-around that usually works is right-clicking at the cursor (or caret)
position and choosing the topmost item "paste (previous selection)". But
this is slowing down the editing work considerably and is just what is
driving me crazy. BTW, sometimes pasting is working again out of the blue,
so it doesn't just seem to some utterly stupid configuration mistake.

This is good information to know. Can you put this on the bug report
(which I paste below) ? Even though it is not ideal, workarounds give
us information for tracking down the problem. Also, it would be great
if you CC'ed yourself so that you will be notified if we need you to
test something since you are someone who can reproduce the bug.

Thanks for your feedback. But I'm not sure if this is the same bug; the original report talks about a reference not being pasted as such. OTOH he (she?) says "for example". In my case paste (ctrl-v) simply does nothing. Also the title of the bug is about sleep mode. That could be the case for me, too (because obviously nowadays one does not restart the machine very often, usually it's just put to sleep), but I'm not sure. I will try to watch out if after restarting without going to sleep it works reliably.


Yes, it is known and difficult to solve. See the discussion here:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8695

Yes I remember having also come across that ticket, but then forgot about it again.


Thanks for your feedback! Keep it coming.


I would be willing to do some testing, but that would require somebody from the project ("bug owner"?) to provide systematic instructions what to do exactly. The OSes where I can test easily are Win 8 32bit and Win 7 64 bit.

BTW, for a start I think it would also help if someone knowledgeable explained what the different paste items in the keyboard shortcut settings (Tools -> Settings -> Edit -> keyboard shortcuts, re-translated from German) are:

1) clipboard-paste
2) clipboard-paste-simple
3) paste
4) paste (yes a second time)
5) primary-selection-paste
6) selection-paste

thanks,
sven
