This occurs quite often but not always when editing Java code. I believe it also
depends on the speed you do the editing actions with - the faster the more
likely is the error to happen.

- select a text in the editor and cut it into clipboard with Ctrl+X
- delete some more lines of code
- try to paste the clipboard contents with Ctrl+V

It might be worth noting that I usually select-cut-paste whole lines of code.

I will try to come up with more repeatable pattern to help identify the bug.

Sorry guys, I have tested this again and the conclusion is that error sits
between the chair and the keyboard rather than in Eclipse.
I was loosing the clipboard contents because of systematic incidental pressing
of Shift+Del keyboard shortcut which of course replaced whatever was in the
clipboard at the time.

Get rid of deprecated state.
