This issue has been going on for quite some time now. Every single time I attempt to copy something in opera, the first time it never works. I've had this issue for over a year though all the updates, maybe i'm the only one that notices it? I'll copy something, go to paste it, and nothing. so i have to go back and do it again. it usually take 2-3 times of hitting copy just for opera to actually let me copy the text so i can paste it. any word on how to fix this? Using windows 11 and just regular opera.

For example, do I have to highlight more than one word or drag from right-left instead of left to right to highlight or does it only happen when double-left-clicking to select text instead of left-click, hold and drag? Any certain page and certain text?

I'll double check the right click, but I'm pretty sure I've had issues with it as well.

However, if I use the pop-up that shows up when you highlight a text, I usually have to copy 2 or 3 times before it works.
