No, this is definitely not fixed! Not in 2.6, not in 2.62...

The trick is that if the menubar which is currently active doesn't have a 
copy 
command, it wont work - so yes you have to script that but even in the 
script 
editor which is the active window and which has this copy command, 80% of 
the
time, i have to "activate the menubar" or it wont work even though i am 
working
in that field! Same for comment scripts, etc...

We know, you should waste half an hour reseting your preferences - but 
that's 
useless, the problem comes back again in less than a week...

The real trick for missing copy/paste commands is to click once in the 
menu 
of the script editor or the revmenubar and THEN the menu shortcut will 
work 
(is that the fix in 2.6 you're refering to?)! 

Yesterday that wouldn't even work - not even in MC! But it might possibly
be my PC maybe... 

As far as the paste screwing up... Well, it's another story. That's the 
problem
at hand... 

Hope that helps for your copy shortcut... This doesn't resolve the problem 
that
when you paste something in rev/MC yuo dont know if the pasted text is the 
same
one you copied unless you verify it...
