When I attempt to copy or cut a section of text from a file using Apple-C/Apple-V, a dialog 
appears saying:

Error Executing Command
The command for the key you pressed failed
Reason:
 The command for the key you pressed failed

If I choose Edit->Copy or Edit->Cut, it just fails silently.

This only happens with Java source files that make use of the assert keyword.  This can easily by 
reproduced with the following steps:

1.  Create a new dummy project for testing.  Make sure that the assert keyword is allowed.
2.  Create a new class, "Main".
3.  Make Main.java read as follows:

/**
 * Main line for tests.
 */
public final class Main
    {
    public void main (final String[] argv)
        {
        assert (false):("foobar");
        }
    }

4.  Save Main.java.
5.  Open another file in another editor.  Switch to that tab, and switch back to Main.java.
6.  Select some text and use Apple-C to try to copy it.
7.  See the error message I mentioned above.
