Copy and Paste Doesn't Seem to be Working Right Now

I’ve been doing a lot of copy and paste the last several days and this morning it suddenly stopped functioning.  I’ve tried it with shortcuts and the non-keyboard versions and neither works.  Is this just me? 

Have you tried refreshing the page and/or adding random text first and then trying paste. Sometimes I have to do those things to get the paste to work. It’s been a long standing on and off issue for me on both the new and told tool.

Thank you!!   – I thought I had also tried adding the text but i guess I didn’t.   Yes, that is one of the most valuable things I learned quite a while ago – because otherwise it is an on-going problem and that is a very strange solution.

Haha for sure a weird solution. It’s like it somehow gets ‘stuck’ or something.

I learned that “adding random text first” trick from Elke and Jen Clarke several years ago. Still works today. :slightly_smiling_face:
