I am using Remote Desktop (to connect to other machines, i am NOT using VS2010 over remote desktop)
I saw that as a suggestion (kill rdpclip.exe) so I tried using VS for a day without leaving remote desktop sessions open - problem still occurs.

When Visual Studio moved to the new editor, its native implementation that wrapped the clipboard was also moved to managed code. Unfortunately, the Framework wrapper isn't as baked as the native Visual Studio one - so the editor inherited all the problems of the managed one. One of the biggest problems with the clipboard is that only one process as a time can open it to read or write to it - so the majority of all copy/paste issues come down to another process opening it at the same time as Visual Studio. An example of this is when using Remote Desktop or when running Visual Studio in a virtual machine. Are you doing any of these?

This has been logged at least connect 3 times (see below for one such instance) The workarounds arent working for me. Has anyone run into this problem and got a successful workaround- it's *extremly* annoying. http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/553061/vs2010-cop y-paste-functions-are-not-working-as-expected
