Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201202060400) Operating System = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_29 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 20.4-b02 I have found that copy/paste doesn't work on Windows between other editors and Netbeans in Windows. If I enter text into, for instance, EditPlus or Wordpad, I cannot copy it from there and successfully paste into Netbeans. Instead, what gets pasted in Netbeans is the last thing I copied FROM Netbeans. I know I've successfully pasted into Netbeans in the past, so either this is a regression, or somehow Netbeans can get into a stuck state where it stops talking to the clipboard properly. This, of course, makes it really hard to copy code from a web page into Netbeans.
This happens to me also. I copied text from the web browser but can't paste the text into NetBeans. Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.1 (Build 201112071828) Java: 1.6.0_29; Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM 20.4-b02 System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_BR (nb)
