On Eclipse 3.6 occasionally stops work "paste" functional. It happens very often. Only restart of Eclipse can fix that state. It happens on Java sources editint in Java perspective.

It isn't related with keyboard or shortcuts issues because if it stops work then it can't work even in 'Edit' menu of Eclipse. Selecting of 'Copy' and 'Paste' items in Eclipse's menu doesn't paste. Presumably that issue is related exactly with 'Paste' functionality, because 'Copy' seems as working (after restarting 'Paste' could paste clipping which was copied before restarting). 

State when "Paste" discontinues working seems as usually (any error messages, any logging, any visible events or reactions), except that "Paste" disbility is unusual.

Very unpleasant drawback.

I use Windows Vista 32 bit, Sun (Oracle) JDK 1.6.21.

Please fix it or provide some workaround to prevent of "paste" unprompted disability.

Thanks in advance.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any Java project in Eclipse 3.6 Helios (Windows Vista 32 bit, SUN JDK 1.6.21).
2. Work some time with java sources editing using copy/paste.
3. "Paste" doesn't work unexpectedly.

Anything in .log?
Is some other tool running that e.g. keeps track of the clipboard?
Maybe you use Comodo Internet Security? If so, see bug 320620.

Thanks. I use Comodo. That should help.
