SQL window -> select text -> hit Crtl-C (or Ctrl-Ins).
But the text was not transferred to the clipboard.
This happens rarely, but is very disturbing.

Even worse: select text -> hit Crtl-X.
The text is gone, but nothing is in the clipboard.

The same with: select text -> menu -> Edit -> Copy (or Cut).
Rarely too.

Sometimes if this occur I can't copy although I hit Ctrl-C several times.

Only PSD has this problem. Other programms on my PC work well.

I had this problem on my other PCs too.

That's a strange clipboard problem. We'll check it out.

I have the same problem (sometimes)!
I just thought that I had too much fun the prior day and could not hit the Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V keys properly!!!

Any answers here?
It is very annoying when copy & paste does not work.
using version Version 7.1.5.1398

I am in a terminal services session... but no other apps have this issue. I can highlight text and press ctrl-c then move the cusor and press ctrl-v and nothing is pasted. I can re-highlight and press ctrl-c multiple times like a crazy person and sometimes I can paste after that... totally randomly.

Sometimes I open notepad and paste there to test.. if I can get it there.. it will always work elsewhere..

Please advise..

We have not yet been able to reproduce this, or find any possible cause.

Are you using remote desktop?

If yes google for "remote desktop copy and paste not working".

I also thought the problem was from pl/sql developer, but if you disable in Remote Dekstop options -> local resources -> untick clipboard, everything works properly (but you will not have the ability to use copy/paste between remote and host computers).

I also found this: http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2008/0...-remote-desktop-copy-paste-stop-working/

but still didn't try it out.

No, I don't use remote desktop, I an sitting in front of my PC.
One year ago I had another PC: the same problem.

Only PL/SQL Developer has the problem, no other program.

There is something amiss with the way how PL/SQL Developer handles the clipboard.

This issue is very very annoying!

I don't use remote desktop either and yes I agree it is annoying.

Please fix it at the earliest.

BTW, when can we expect the beta 8 and final 8.0?

Is this maybe related to keybindings and multiple preference sets? I had problems with Control-F not opening the search interface, until I realized it only happened when I was connected to a certain database.

In other words, does the problem go away if you disconnect or connect to a different database?

I had this kind of issues some time ago. I think it was related with extended MS Office clipboard.
It started happening after some time of usage ( a couple of different copy commands - text, images from other programs etc. )

You can try to disable it and see if it helps:
