Have to Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V in Illustrator, before I can Ctrl+V anywhere else.
I've had this problem for the past months (half a year-ish?). Figured it'd get patched out, but it hasn't.
SO in order to copy something from Illustrator to any other program, I have got to paste it in Illustrator again first. So let's say I'd make a circle in Illutrator and I'd want to copy that to Photoshop, I'd have to Ctrl+C the circle in Illustrator, then Ctrl+V it in Illustrator again and only then I can paste it in Photoshop. If I were to Ctrl+C it and directly paste it in Photoshop without pasting it in Illustrator first, it'd just ignore my past actions and paste whatever I had on my clipboard before I copied the circle. If I would then go to Illustrator and Ctrl+V there, it still pastes the Illustrator shape. So it has two items on the clipboard?
Now in the example I am explaining above that might not sound like a huge issue (and to be honest, it isn't a gigantic issue). It just gets really annoying when I try to copy big files. I have to convert package templates from Illutrator to Photoshop on a regular basis to make them look realistic. It's rather annoying to have to wait for the program to copy everything (which already takes a bit for bigger files, even on my workstation which was built for 3D). If I have to paste it again before I can work with it, it makes the copy paste process twice as long.
I can work around it, as I have been doing so far. I just figured I'd had to make it known, considering I can't seem to find anyone else with this problem (the problem isn't very easy to Google either, due to the common search terms used to describe the problem).

Hi! I have an issue that's almost the same. I have to press Ctrl + C multiple times before it works... If I press it only one time, it won't work and I'll have to select all again and copy again, sometimes it's faster to go to the menu options instead of pressing multiple times the CTRL C first...
Is there anyone with this problem??
