CTRL+C doesn't copy in text editor [message #130077]

The key mapping of CTRL+C to edit >> copy doesn't seem to work in the text
editor or java editor.

It seems to be correctly mapped in the "workbench >> preferences >> keys"
dialog, but when I press it the selected text isn't copied and the status
bar at the bottom of the IDE says "ctrl+c" as though it doesn't recognise
the command.

I can map other combinations to copy happily (eg CTRL+d) but I'm quite
attached to CTRL+C ... so it would be nice to enable it.

I have tried mapping CTRL+C under as many combinations of scope and
configuration as I could think of.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

many thanks

This is not normal, obviously. Perhaps you're experiencing this
intermittent bug:
