The Windows Clipboard is quite possibly the worst feature of Windows to work 
with - it's extremely hard to write resilient code against it. 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?

Is anyone else experiencing cut/copy/paste issues in Visual Studio 2010? 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.
