I am working on FM 8. It hangs when I try to copy content.

Please let me know if anyone is facing a similar problem and steps to solve it.

    What operating system?

    FM8 runs on Windows and Solaris.

    The list of usual suspects is different for each.

    OS is Windows 7.

    The problem may be as simple as uninstalling Skype, which messes with the clipboard.

    No Skype? Ok, next is:

    32- or 64-bit Win7?

    FM8 is probably not officially supported in Win7, and may have issues in 64-bit mode on any Windows.

    If you have Win7 Enterprise, Professional or Ultimate, you could download "XP Mode", and try running FM8 in a 32-bit XP virtual machine. If you have Win7 not-so-Premium or less, you can't install XPM.

    And do you see the problem just using keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl-C), or also using menu Edit > Copy?
