eclipse copy and paste feature

[1998_use]

Any body here using eclipse for java development?
While using eclipse under opensuse, I found out that copy and paste is not functioning sometimes, which drives me crazy.

If using the mouse and click the copy or paste, the problem is less than using the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V keys.

What can I do?

I'm using the openSUSE 11.1 and KDE 4.3.1
the older version of KDE also has the same problem

I've heard of similar issues where you need to Ctrl+C twice to reliably
get the data, though I assume this is a KDE issue more than anything else.
I've also seen interesting issues when trying to copy from a Java-based
app to something else (which would include Eclipse) when I close the
Java-based app (JEdit in my case) before doing the paste operation; not
sure why that is at this point.

Good luck.

This is a known bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=153809

When copying content from inside Eclipse, you can try to hold "Ctrl+C" for at least one second... it's my personal workaround until the Eclipse guys manage to fix it.

You can also try to close klipper, but in my case that didn't improve the situation.
