The Copy/Paste Issue Seems to Have Returned

In order to copy/paste in Dreamweaver 21.5 (Windows 11), I have to click out of the program only to have to click back into the program just to copy. If I don't do this, when I copy the selected text (code), it will randomly jump and just copy something else. Rebooting has no effect.

Same problem here. If I CTRL+C to copy, and then CTRL+V to paste, Dreamweaver crashes. This is only since the last update I did. Seems like copying and pasting is a basic feature that should have been tested better prior to release. Rushing things out the door, only for things to be broken later, is sloppy. It’s not like this software is free to use…….

Came here to report the same issue. It's driving me crazy! Ctrl V seems to work but when I highlight and Ctrl C it unhighlights the section and doesn't copy anything for me.

Thank you DaleValet. Crash everytime I try to paste code from one HTML doc to another. Seems to work when I click out of DW then back in. Just started with update. Was working well before update. Wasted alot of time restarting and nothing else was working!
