I am using LyX 2.0.1 (the Alternate Installer, from the developer's site), and have noticed that this version and some earlier ones seem to have issues with Windows' clipboard: copy and paste seems to stop working for all programs until I close LyX.

This is naturally a major irritation when working with other programs to prepare data for use in a report. Is there a known workaround or fix for the Windows platform? I been unsuccessful in finding anything on the web for Windows, and it's been a few months since I worked with LyX, but I don't recall ever finding a fix for this.

This sounds to me like a bug that should be send to the LyX developers. I suggest consulting the lyx-users mailinglist, where the LyX developers (including Uwe Stöhr, who develops the alternate installer) are very active. – Daniel Oct 24 '11 at 9:24
Many thanks! I will do so. – Iterator Oct 24 '11 at 14:09
Very interesting that this was closed. I'm obviously new here, but LyX issues do not seem to be off-topic. Can someone clarify? – Iterator Nov 1 '11 at 18:09
