Copy Past problem

Hello

 

I have some issue with Illustrator and a simple Copy Past.

When I start illustrator, no problem, a copy past of an light vector illustration between 2 document is working. After a certain timing, copy and past is no more working.

I need to copy and past several time to have it.

 

When I use menu to "copy", then try to "past", the line in the menu is grey....

 

Any help, it's really driving me crazy....

 

Of course, it's the last illustrator version, on a PC, win 10 64bit version, 32 go Ram, Ryzen 9 3.8gz

 

Thanks

Most probably some other app intervening and messing with your clipboard. Here is a list of candidates that are known to do that:

  • Parallels Toolbox running with the Clipboard History
  • TeamVewer Clipboard > Use Shared Clipboard
  • Apple iOS device simulator from Xcode
  • Windows Multi-clipboard
  • Windows Clipboard History
  • Chrome Remote Desktop
  • Mouse Pointer Highlighter
  • AnyViewer
  • Pastebot app
  • Overzealous antivirus (Digital Guardian) as well as viruses that empty the clipboard

Thanks for your answer.

Then I need to identify which program is causing this......

It will not be easy.

 

Any other idea ?

No, it won't be easy. I would start with the browser.
