Your user with consistent problems—are they perturbing the
pasteboard in any way? (Running any custom copy-paste haxies? :) )
Does regular copy-paste work for them in other apps like TextEdit?
It does work in other applications like TextEdit, yes. It also did on
my machine. It's like the pasteboard server is only unavailable to my
application, no matter if relaunched.
I've asked this particular user about plugins and what not, and she
says no. She's done development herself, so I trust the answer, but
I'll certainly double check.

Just encountered the strangest error and want to put it on the

Copy/paste simply stopped working in my application. It continued
to work everywhere else. Relaunching my application did not solve
the problem. Drag and drop also stopped working. Copy/paste
returned no error to the console but dragging produced a
"CoreDragCreate error: -4960"
After some extensive research on Google and the List archives, I
was unable to find a solution that did not require a reboot. One
potential issue was launching the app from the terminal during an
ssh session. I'm definitely not doing that. Another google result
suggested problems with launch services.
I was able to do some debugging before restarting my application.
It seems that calling [NSPasteboard generalPasteboard] returns
nil. It's like my application does not have access to the
pasteboard services.
Restarting solves the problem. On the one hand, I want to offer
this up to Fluke, Chance's ugly and less appreciated stepbrother.
Reboot and you're good to go. On the other hand, I have a single
user who is reporting this as a consistent problem. She reboots
and a few minutes later my app loses pasteboard functionality.
Other applications on the system don't seem to be affected, save
one which I won't mention.
Any thoughts?
