Copy from browser paste to netbeans not working

Question

Copy from browser paste to netbeans not working. How could this be happen? When I try to paste notepad, it is working, but when try to netbeans it is not working? I am in shock

Answer 1

This Problem is known for over 10 years now and still not fixed.

See https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88161

Workaround: Restart the IDE.

Answer 2

Try to make an empty copy (Ctrl+C without selection) within Netbeans and then try again to perform copying from browser or another application. It works for me after many solutions I tried.

This bug report also suggests adding

-J-Dnetbeans.slow.system.clipboard.hack=false

to the netbeans_default_options in netbeans.conf, but it did not work for me.
