Copy and paste never works the first time

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.

so opera is just going to ignore copy and paste not working in their browser and call it a day. well if that's the case then i'm going to just navigate to a new browser then. absolutely tired of this.

If I goto https://example.com/, select a word and click "copy" in the search pop-up, it gets copied to the clipboard fine for me, even the first time.

@kman198 Is there anything specific needed to reproduce it? 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?

@burnout426 nope. there's no pattern, just on the first 1-3 tries I try to copy something in opera, absolutely nothing happens. and it will remember the last thing i copied. so if i copy something step away from my computer, and then try to copy something again, it takes 2-3 times to copy it. or if it's the very first thing I try to copy, same issue. but once i've copied something, it's ok and works the first time every time until I don't use it again for a while. time seems to be the only factor.
