In attached file, I have selected from line 265 to 270, both inclusive. I select Edit | Copy from the menu, but nothing is copied to the clipboard. If I try to Cut, the text is removed but no copy is either placed in the clipboard.
Created attachment 12961 [details] Sample file where bug happens
Another related problem I'm having repeatedly is that when I cut some text, nothing is copied to the clipboard. Copying works ok. For performing a cut operation, I must copy and then delete.
You did not specifiy a build id. Works for me using R3.0. Please reopen if you see this in R3.0 or newer.

A clue to the first behaviour I have observed: It happens when I edit the code in a view belonging to the "Visual Editor". If I edit it in a regular Java View, it doesn't happen. The 2nd problem also happens with a Java view.
My previous comment isn't true, the bug isn't specific to the Visual Editor.
I tried many times and use the editors on a daily basis and cannot reproduce on fresh Eclipse SDK 3.0. Please reopen with steps to reproduce if you see this in a fresh Eclipse SDK environment (comment 4 shows that several non-SDK plug-ins have been installed).
Think this bug is a duplicated for 57868 I have turned off folding as suggested in the description of that bug.
Well, it cannot be a duplicate since the bug is marked as fixed for 3.0. You didn't tell us how you select i.e. whether you use Ctrl+ (see comment 0), so how exactly do you select line 265 to 270? If folding is disabled then it works but when it is enabled it does not work, right? Is something folded when opening the attached file? Best would be to provide exact steps based on plain Eclipse SDK.
Conclusions: 1) It does not depend on the method you use to invoke copy: main menu, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+insert 2) Happens only with Java editors 3) Happens quite often 4) Cut fails more than the equivalent combination Copy+Delete 5) Cheetah plugin isn't installed.
When I copy some code and paste it in another file, the necessary imports are pasted, but nothing else. External programs view the clipboard as empty. Does this provide any light of what it may be the cause?
Please answer all the questions that I asked before reopening.
Get rid of deprecated state.
