Interesting...indeed, wwhen the text is deselected after hitting command-C,
it will no longer paste into Aqua applications. (Though I do not understand
why Apple would cause this to be the case, it is indeed the case.) I hadn't
noticed that. Sometimes when it is selected, though, it still fails to
paste.



Selected text, after hitting Command-C, never fails to paste anywhere for me that I have observed. This sounds like a bug. I sure wish you could reproduce it reliably. Without a reproducer, there is no way to fix it.
