When the 'copy paste issue' occurs, I have found the following work around

I use a small program called Menu Master (Mac OSX 10.4.11, Tiger) that
allows me to select a menu item, and while holding down the mouse, define a
key shortcut.  I choose control-C and control-V.

I use command-C and V normally, and when the 'focus bug' occurs, I can
usually do command-C, then have to use control-P.  Often this is a temporary
situation and only occurs when I am rushing to meet a deadline.

Could there be a fix that we could do in the lib stacks?
If the focusedOject is in {} then set the fousedObject to default

or 
repeat until
   ...is not in {} then set the focusedObject to prevFocusedObject
end repeat
