Cant paste objects - will fall off the drawing area BUG

I am trying to paste an object into my illustrator file and it is giving me the message that the objects will fall off the drawing area. The object im trying to place is 4in wide , much smaller than my drawing area. No matter the size it wont let me paste. This glitch happens often though, I probably see this message at least once a day while working. I see it as well sometimes while trying to move items around my drawing board - even if i am not putting it outside the drawing area.  Sometimes it fixes itself and sometimes it does not.
