I don't know if it has anything to do with the sleep mode, but my Windows PCs only get restarted every so often when the RAM cache requires a clean out. Sleep mode is never used as my PCs are effectively small servers, so they are always "on".
That's interesting, so neither "sleep" nor "remote desktop" seem to be standalone causes.
I have had similar problems and continue to have intermittent difficulties with the cut/copy/paste functions. Semi frequently LyX just "loses" the ability to use the clipboard. Sometimes ctrl+v doesn't work and in the lower left corner I get the message, "command disabled".
Exactly my experience.
Other times the copy doesn't actually copy/cut the /LyX content/ and it only copies/cuts the plain text equivalent content (i.e. if a math formula is copied then pasted, only the TeX code is pasted). Like you I then have to go into the Paste Special menu to do what I need, and possibly restart the program.
Yes it seems that restarting Lyx helps -- not sure if it does every time though.
I have a strong feeling the problem is the operation of the windows environment "virtual" clipboard. I thought in my case it was associated with using remote desktop applications. The remote desktop applications have to do strange things to get the Windows virtual clipboard to function between the host and remote PC. I have nothing conclusive to offer though.
Neither do I, but something in Lyx must perform this "command disabling" that you mentioned, so my hope would be that one of the devels could figure out where in the code this happens...
