The Acrobat reader shows an error when the user copies data to the clipboard while NetBeans is running. While NetBeans is not generally known for this interference, other more widely used applications applications are. Please see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16907978/after-sending-text-to-clipboard-i-get-errors-in-some-programs There is a message from an Adobe support person without much hope for a solution from their side: https://forums.adobe.com/message/4096817 I stumbled on the clipboard bug WITHOUT using Adobe reader while working between NetBeans within a Windows terminal session and Microsoft Excel. True, this might a windows terminal issue, but the cut and paste errors vanished after closing NetBeans and using Notepad++ as the editor. So perhaps from this you can understand that I am using the Adobe reader issue as a proxy to provide a more reproducible scenario than a windows terminal session etc.. which is less reproducible, but nevertheless more serious for my work than copying text from the Adobe reader :) Platforms on which this occurs are Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 AND Windows XP.
I have reproduced this with a plain Swing application which adds FlavorListener to system clipboard. Even though the listener is empty copying enough data to Windows clipboard or copying the same data very frequently results in MS Windows error message.
I've turned the clipboard listener off when the IDE window is in background, hopefully it won't break something else... core-main f811420f5c99
Thanks. Could we have this fix added as candidate to the next IDE patch please.
