It's been almost a year since I posted this thread, but I would like to follow up and share that I have found the culprit! Logi Options+ (Logitech mouse and keyboard management software), and it seems maybe even Logitech wireless keyboards in general. I noticed that Logi Options+ was mentioned in another thread as an application that might interfere with the Windows clipboard, so I uninstalled it (it's entirely unnecessary anyway). Now, without even closing+reopening Illustrator or rebooting my machine, copy and paste work reliably every time. The copy/paste issue unfortunately also happened on my other machine that has NEVER had the Logi Options+ software installed, but DOES use a wireless Logitech keyboard. Swapping out the Logitech wireless keyboard for a wired USB keyboard made the issue go away on this second machine. Luckily, I can still use my wireless keyboard on the first device I mentioned (for now, at least). So, folks with wireless Logitech peripherals who are still having this copy/paste issue: try uninstalling your Logi software or temporarily swapping out your Logitech keyboard.

Did Adobe remove a bunch of features from Dimension, or is my software on the fritz? It seems like everytime I open this software, something has been removed or hidden away somewhere. How do you resize the canvas? It looks like the properties panel and canvas label are both completely gone. There is no way to select the scene or change the size of the canvas. How do you add a background image? The image selection button is gone.

No clipboard enhacing options enabled and none of the applications above are installed. It's the clipboard and it's only Illustrator. It occurs even with right clicking or using Edit > Copy; and all other applications, including other Adobe applications, don't have this issue. It's just Illustrator and it's happening on both of my Windows 11 machines - a laptop for work and a desktop for my home office.

I put Creative Cloud on a brand new machine with nothing but stock Windows apps installed - literally the first and only additional software I added to the machine - and I still got the copy issue with Illustrator. Not saying your machine having the same issues is definitely NOT caused by your antivirus or clipboard software, but the issue goes much deeper than just a handful of niche applications.

Thanks for the assistance. None of these applications are installed on my machine, and the only antivirus software is stock Windows Defender. I did some experimenting. While working this morning, I noticed that Illustrator will reliably cut/copy/paste very simple objects. I drew about a dozen random ellipses, united them with Pathfinder, and copy/pasted them. It worked reliably. I grouped four of those dozen-circle groups, scaled them down, united them with Pathfinder, and repeated the process, resulting in four copy/pastes that worked reliably. It wasn't until I reached the fourth round of this "tessellating" that the application began to occassionally not register my commands to copy. In the fifth round, I had to do the copy command a minimum of 20 times to get Illustrator to register the command. This leads me to believe this issue is tied to memory somehow. Windows does not limit clipboard size as far as I know, my machine has 64gb of memory, and other drawing applications can copy similarly complex objects without issues, so I am still lead to believe that the problem lies with Illustrator.

Ctrl + C keyboard shortcut needs to be hit between 2-10 times usually before Illustrator recognizes that I did anything. But it's not just keyboard shortcuts. If I click Edit > Cut then click Edit again, the option to paste is greyed out 100% of the time. If I click Edit > Copy, nothing ever happens the first time. After the first time, it seems like a random roll of the die on whether or not Paste is then greyed out under the Edit menu. Usually 2-10 times to get Illustrator to understand that I want to copy something. Only Adobe apps are having this issue. No other software I regularly use is having any issue with the clipboard. I already reset my preferences, disabled "Include SVG Code" in the preferences, closed all other programs running, rebooted, restarted in safe mode. Nothing helps. Windows 11 Illustrator 28.4.1 2 different machines Happens with Photoshop too but only sporadically

I figured out the solution! Under Edit > Preferences > Plugins, "Load Extension Panels" box at the bottom got unchecked somehow. Checking the box brought back my Libraries panel.

As the title says - my Libraries panel is gone and the option to enable/disable it is missing under the Window menu. Library panels exist and are functioning in my other apps. I've tried resetting preferences, using the CC Library installer, and uninstalling/reinstalling Photoshop. Any other ideas? Photoshop 25.1.0 on Windows 11
