hello everyone.

i use Adobe Illustrator 2023, and have problem to copy and paste objects (ex: shape, text, path or anything),

i have try
- CTRL+C and CTRL+V
- Right click copy, and Right clik (Paste button disabled)
- Edit tab > Copy, aslo often not worked

strangly.. copy and paste function are at times worked and sometime not worked again,
and i must press CTRL+C and CTRL+V very often just for only one copy a simple shape object.

 

this is my screen recorded : https://youtu.be/QfBJUHnHLmE 

 

please don't suggest me for :

1. reinstall my AI, because i was try this for thousand times
2. reset AI preferences form Edit tab, because i was try this for thousand times
3. uninstall any third party sofware as Clipboard manager, because i not use it
4. downgrade my AI, because i have try AI versions 2017 adn 2022

    When was the last time you rebooted the computer? This clears the clipboard.

     

    Software that messes with the clipboard doesn't need to be its own application. It can be built into other apps. Such as Teamviewer or other screensharing software. They have options so that users in a call can share a clipboard.

     

    Also: I'm seeing you are running Chrome. Possibly with lots of extensions. Chrome is known for wrecking all sorts of workflows, because Google just doesn't care.

    Yeah, lately Chrome has been utterly terrible. I'm using Firefox instead. A lot time ago Firefox really stank. It took forever to start up. So started using Chrome. Now Chrome is terrible. I just don't understand how a web browser can be such a resource hog, even on systems with lots of RAM and CPU/GPU "horsepower." My guess is Google has allowed Chrome's code to turn into a complete rat's nest.
