“Unbinding Paste somehow fixed [it] for me.” “Paste stopped working for me after upgrading electron to 32.3.0. Downgrading electron back to 32.2.8 resolves the issue.”

I experienced the same issue and same hilarious fix.

Neither right-click:paste or ctrl-v:paste work anymore for text copying. All other actions seem to work fine including copy. It is to note that right-click:paste works within the terminal window but nowhere else.

I am on 1.96.4 on Windows and it is working but the Insider build is not.

I had the same issue. I had to turn off AI features and it started working again. Specifically it stopped working on a peice of legacy code that had hundreds of thousands of lines of code all in one file. No idea what version of vscode but it was fairly recent.

I don't think pasting counts as an "ingenious workflow".
