Illustrator randomly fails on select-paste
23.0.1 64-bit on Win 10 Xeon with GPU accel. Selection, copy paste text fails randomly. Copy seems to work but all paste options grayed out. Yet I can paste to NotePad and other apps. This has been going on for over a year. Have to double click or paste to another doc first. Please fix!

Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience. Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

Copy/Paste is erratic when using a Wacom tablet, and has been for all Illustrator versions that I recall (definitely from CS6 onwards), that's on Win 7 Pro. I don't think I've experienced the problem if using a mouse (which I plugged in only for testing purposes, I don't otherwise use a mouse). The symptoms seem the same; you can "copy" objects but not paste them back into illustrator documents, either the same document or another.

Do you have any clipboard manager installed?
