Thank you for reaching out, and sorry to hear you are unable to copy-paste XD on the windows 11 machine. A few more details would be super helpful.

The version of XD is installed on your machine.
Which keyboard are you using, ENG or any other?
Is copy-paste work in other Adobe apps like Illustrator and Photoshop?

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika

Thank you for sharing the requested info. We would need some additional info to investigate the issue further.

Would you mind telling us if you're connected to any external monitor?
Do you have any firewall, anti-virus, or other security software installed?
Is it an image or a text that you're trying to copy-paste?

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Hey there

This thread should NOT be marked as resolved, because the problem doesn't seem fixed.

I have the same problem here.
I am working on an iMac 2019 (OS: Ventura 13.1).

This problem showed up a few weeks ago for the first time. Since then the copy-pasting-issue comes up at least once a day.

The only way I could fix it temporarily was closing Adobe XD completely and reopen the project.

When I first open the program it works most of the times. Only after a few hours it suddenly stops copying or pasting elements inside the canvas when I press CMD+C / CMD+V

Hi @martins3632322,

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry to hear you are having trouble copy-pasting in XD. This is definitely not expected behavior.

Could you please tell us what exactly you're trying to copy-paste? Is it text or an image?
Does that happen with any other Adobe application?
Would you mind telling us if you're connected to any external monitor?
Do you have any firewall, anti-virus, or other security software installed?
Are you also using the ENG keyboard?

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi @HARSHIKA_VERMA

Thanks for reaching out!

I tried to copy paste elements inside the canvas (text-elements, image elements, groups).
I didn't try to copy-paste text by double-clicking on a text element.
The problem only appeared in Adobe XD. However I have to note that I don't really use copy-paste when I use other Adobe Applications (for example After Effects or Photoshop).
I don't have any external monitors connected.
I have "Malwarebytes" installed (anti-virus software).
I use the swiss keyboard from apple (with numpad). The OS language is "German (Switzerland)"

I hope this helps.

Best regards

Martin

Hey @HARSHIKA_VERMA

Small addition to my last post...

The copy-paste bug just appeared again and now I tried to copy some text from a text element and it worked.

Only when I try to copy whole elements it fails.

I also tried to copy elements by going through the dropdown menu at the top-left (edit/copy and edit/paste). It failed aswell.

Best regards

Martin
