I bit ago I saw a report about something similar, where the poster said that they couldn't copy and paste on google docs (any page starting with docs.google), but they could still use ctrl+Y and ctrl+Y, which is what's happening to me. It works in other browsers, I unblocked all of my cookies, I disabled all of my adblockers, and it still won't work. And it's just docs.google pages too! Google Docs and Google Slides are broken but google sheets works just fine. If you know of any other possible fixes, let me know!

(Also please don't lock this topic until it works again on my computer- the other topic I saw just like this one was locked without confirmation that they ever got it working again)

Do you have the Google Docs Offline extension installed? It's required for some copy and paste functionality.

If you don't have it installed, I'd install it to test if it helps. At the URL opera://extensions, make sure it's set to run on search result pages too just in case docs.google.com is treated as a search engine page.

Ok so I just did that, and it still won't work
The whole extension is greyed-out for some reason. I already gave it access to search pages and even went into the extension settings to make sure that it has access to my clipboard.
Now I can Right-click>Copy and Right-click>Paste without it giving me a pop-up, but it still won't copy or paste. It also turns out that Cut (ctrl+X) doesn't work either, but like before, ctrl+Y, ctrl+A, and other shortcuts.

Here's how the extension looks in my extension list:

Copy and paste (via right-click or ctrl + c and ctrl + v) is working fine in a Google doc in Opera GX 108.0.5067.43 64-bit on Windows 11 23H2 for me for what it's worth. I have Google Docs Offline Version 1.75.4 installed in Opera.

Do things work fine in a test standalone installation of Opera GX?

@wiploww That's normal. The extension is still enabled and active.

At this point it's so much of a hassle that I might just do all my schoolwork on google to be honest
