Recently the Copy and Paste functionality within the editor stopped working (WL 6.1.27.0 under Vista32). Cut works. But when Paste is subsequently invoked (either from the edit menu or via CTRL-V) nothing is pasted. Any ideas on why and how to fix? I have to revert to editing withing the XML file for the strategy, then stop and restart WL. Major hassle.

Check if you have other running processes that inteferes with clipboard. This is the most prominent cause. There can be different kinds of such software: remote desktop sessions, office/clipboard utilities, keyloggers etc. Try to stop them.

Not knowing what I have running that might be locking or otherwise impeding the Windows clipboard, I just rebooted and immediately restarted WL, and presto, the copy and paste functionality returned. I would assume it's temporary. But at least it's working for now. If/when it recurs, I'll try to find the culprit.

Thanks for your suggestions, Eugene.
