Switching off Netbeans special clipboard handling seems to improve situation as well: ```java TopSecurityManager.makeSwingUseSpecialClipboard(Lookup.getDefault().lookup(ExClipboard.class)); ``` used here: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/d848cb34e343307bf20d8c8a0948e6f004dfa86d/platform/o.n.core/src/org/netbeans/core/NbLifecycleManager.java#L71 defined here: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/d848cb34e343307bf20d8c8a0948e6f004dfa86d/platform/o.n.bootstrap/src/org/netbeans/TopSecurityManager.java#L664 To avoid this special handling you could try to switch off TopSecurityManager but I have no idea what side effects this has. So start your platform app or netbeans with `-J-DTopSecurityManager.disable=true`. This avoids installing Netbeans complete clipboard handling. Look into `NbLifecycleManger`: ```java public static void advancePolicy() { if (policyAdvanced) { return; } // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // 8. Advance Policy if (!Boolean.getBoolean("TopSecurityManager.disable")) { // set security manager TopSecurityManager.install(); if (CLIOptions.isGui()) { TopSecurityManager.makeSwingUseSpecialClipboard(Lookup.getDefault().lookup(ExClipboard.class)); } } policyAdvanced = true; } ``` Strangely clipboard history still works. I had no troubles copy paste from and to external applications so far. So this referenced bug: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4818143.html still relevant? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
