RE: NB 25 Paste from Clipboard Problem Worse?

FWIW – my usual “workaround” to the clipboard bug still seems to work on J24 and NB25:


  1.  Highlight the selection and Ctrl-C for copy
  2.  Ctrl-Shift-D to pull up copy history, and paste back over what is still selected and was just copied
  3.  Paste into the other app
  4.  I usually Ctrl-Z to undo #2 at this point, just to remove the spurious file modification marker

OS here is Windows 11.

It’ll be great if the patch gives us a less cumbersome approach, but at least the above does still seem to get around it.

That will be super if so – planning to upgrade to Java24 and NB25 next week so will try it out.
And yes – I believe it’s been a known Java issue for a while.

A helpful contributor has, it seems, finally found the cause of the bug, and posted a workaround here:

https://github.com/xxDark/clipboard-agent

It would be very useful if we could have more people verify that the patch above works.

It's a bug in Java itself, so it will ultimately need to be fixed in OpenJDK. Meanwhile the NetBeans developers are discussing if we can find a way to have the patch above included in NetBeans. (https://github.com/apache/netbeans/discussions/7051)

Has the pasting from the clipboard problem gotten worse between NB24 and
NB25?

This workaround I had used for NB24 doesn't seem to be working in NB25.

Is there a known workaround for this in NB25?

Thanks.
