This issue has existed for at *least* the last 4 versions of Photoshop. What gives? I’ve experienced this on fresh installs on completely different hardware setups and software combinations. I just went from a homebuilt XP box running CS2 to Vista64 on a MacPro running CS3, the bug came along for the ride. It is very unlikely this bug is tied to any specific hardware or software (other than Windows and PS itself).
Here’s a recap of the bug- for whatever reason PS will stop pasting from the Windows clipboard and the only way to fix the problem is to restart PS. Purging the PS clipboard, modifying the amount of memory PS uses, playing with the amount of ram in your computer, applying the registry hacks floating around online- none of these fix the problem. Once the bug rears its head the only way to fix it is to restart PS (however copying and pasting from within PS will continue to work).
As long as you’re copying and pasting from within PS, everything is fine, that never stops working. But as soon as you start pasting from the Windows clipboard, eventually PS will just stop pasting. The data in the Windows clipboard will be fine, you can paste into other programs, just not PS.
