If I select some text (usually, using the keyboard) and then press Control+C to copy selected text to the clipboard, sometimes it doesn't work.
Control+V (paste) in this scenario also does not seem to do anything.
Any ideas?
ps: I am so far unable to reproduce on demand

As an update, this has happened three times to me already today, so I'll keep an eye on things.
using 3.5.0.9 (final)

I have mistakenly been pressing Alt during my rapid clipboarding, which results in the behaviour described above.
If you press ALT a single time on it's own, the menu becomes highlighted ready for you to press a shortcut key to activate a menu item. This is standard Windows behaviour.
However, if you leave the menu highlighted and press Control+C (or any TopStyle shortcut key combo that should work in the current editing context) the desired function does not happen.
Contrast with Windows Notepad: where if the menu is selected using a single press of ALT, pressing clipboard functions deactivates the menu selection and operates as intended. Pressing other modifier-key related shortcuts deactivates the menu selection, also, but they usually do not operate as intended.
Hope that helps.

Further investigation has shown that this happens in circumstances other than the above situation.
I have just had it again.
It always happens after selecting text using control+shift+cursors.

Hi, well according to me it could be your keyboard problem. Have you tried to do the same with any other keyboard...?
