Dan,
I had the same issue and posted a question back on May 2, 2011. Like you, I could not reproduce it and it does not happen all the time and I am not using any remote services. R:azzak suggested using CTRL-V back then, and now I just use routinely when it is not working. Normally restarting the database, or in some cases the computer, seems to fix it. Since I have an easy to remember workaround (same as Windows "paste"), I have not bothered with it lately.

See if that works. I have had an issue in the past where sometimes it does not place the columns unless I press control-v. Since it was part-time I could not replicate it consistently to report it.

When I select column names and hit F3 (or F2) nothing happens.

In 9.5, I press F2 and nothing happens. I've tried multiple computers so I know it isn't a malfunctioning key. If I double-click on the selected columns, only the first one appears at the R> promt or cmd file. It's a pain having to write down the column names and then type them all. Is there a new key to use? We're using WinXP. Thanks, Patti
