So tracking down the software is not going to be easy or quick. Also as OS X uses cache systems, both memory and disk killing the buggy process will not clear the cache or fix the symptom. Martin says killing the "WindowServer" sort of fixes the problem: Why? All software that uses cut and past uses the "WindowServer" and if any software is overwhelming the "WindowServer's cut&past services" maybe by a memory leak due to a bug then this symptom is to be expected.
If it was "permissions" then it would happen straight (right away) off and all the time. It is very unlikely to be a "permissions" problem because it happens after a time frame of a week. It is very unlikely to be the OS, Why? because we don't see this problem on all other systems running the same version of the OS X that he is running.
Why not hardware? The time frame is weeks not second, minutes or hours then it is unlikely to be hardware. Now for a answer based on the information given: As his problem is something that gets worse over time it must be down to something that is happing over time or something that is triggered at certain times it must be software.
He tells use what he has done and why (looked at answers on the internet) but applying answers you find on the internet without knowing the cause can make matters worse. People are giving answers without having the info needed to give a good answer.ġ) How he is trying to do the cut and paste (only with the mouse or using the keyboard ("command+c" for copy and "command+v" for paste) or both or using the menu items?Ģ) Is highlight the object to C+P the problem?ģ) What software is installed and running? (because the problem get's worse over time it sounds like a "memory leak" from a program with a bug in it)

My main suspect is the Windows apps I run via Crossover are messing with something in the system, even after killing Crossover and their processors.Įdit 22/6: I will post a process list and result from kextstat | grep -v com.apple once the issue arrises again.įirst sorry for the length of this post and for the spelling I am dyslexic. Still would like to figure out the underlying cause. It's almost as inconvenient as simply restarting, which was my old fix. However, this is not particularly surprising. I did find however that killing the WindowServer process, which esentially closes all windows and resets the GUI, does provide a bandaid "fix" to the problem and bring copy&paste/drag&drop back.

I'm on a 13" retina macbook pro running 10.9.Įdit 2: After trying a million fixes found on the internet (changing file permissions, /private/var fixes, disabling hidden files from showing etc, killing third-party processes one by one), none of it worked. Should I dump a process list here to show what i've got running or is there a common issue that could be the cause? Going in to Finder > Clipboard shows only one small piece of text which is the last thing I successfully copied before it completely stopped working. Not in textedit, chrome, safari, terminal or otherwise. First it's only between different apps such as Terminal and Sublime Text, but eventually it's system wide and stops working everywhere.Īs I type this, nothing seems to be copying to clipboard. For several months now i've had an issue where after using my laptop for a couple of weeks without restarting, i'll slowly lose my ability to copy and paste.
