1 person found this helpfulWe've seen this from time to time -- and all was can determine is that something is preventing the OS from telling Photoshop that there is new content on the clipboard. We've even tried forcing Photoshop to always import the clipboard (even if the OS says nothing is new), but that doesn't seem to solve it.
Our best guesses are an OS bug, or a third party application/utility is interfering with the OS clipboard (and we have seen that happen with some specific products like JDownloader).

2. Re: Clipboard Copy/Paste
Seth Urquhart Jan 11, 2013 12:42 PM (in response to Chris Cox)Can't be an application problem, I don't have any thrid parties interacting with Photoshop CS6, must be a OS bug. I'm running Windows 8 so that is very quite possible, but it also happens on my laptop running OS Windows 7. For some reason I think it's not a bug, and there is some reason for why it has this "problem". Maybe it's not a problem for the big scheme of things. I don't know, I wish I knew the programming that went into "Clipboard". It's a simple tool that everybody uses, but nobody really knows how it works.

1 person found this helpfulIt still could be a utility program.
But we've been over this bug several times, and still can't figure out why the OS stops telling the application about changes to the clipboard. MS has tried debugging it as well, but neither of us can reproduce the problem, so we're stuck waiting for clues.

Seth Urquhart Jan 11, 2013 12:54 PM (in response to Chris Cox)Do you have any information on how to "correctly" use Clipboard from your own experience, or should I ask on a Microsoft forum? If I knew entirely, what I was doing when I Copy, Cut, Paste, that copuld minimize problems I might have.

You are using it correctly - there is just something unknown causing interference between the OS and applications.
