I read through the bug reports to find previous Copy / Cut and Paste issues with IOS with the reports closed in August 2021. I am using Windows 10 and Copy / Cut and Paste using the mouse R-click is not working in Obsidian 0.15.8.
Steps to reproduce
Select text
Mouse R-click Copy or Cut text
Move to new location on page in editor
Mouse R-click Paste
Expected result
The copied or cut text should be pasted in the new location.
Actual result
Nothing gets pasted with mouse R-click Paste.
However, if I use Ctrl-V, the copied text does paste.

How does the mouse know to paste after a right click to copy/cut ? Ctl -c and ctl-V are keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste. does a drop down menu show when you r click the mouse? (Trying to figure out what changed) you didn’t say if it worked before the latest release.

When I highlight text to copy and then R-click the mouse, a drop down menu appears that offers me the choices to Cut, Copy, Paste, etc.
I choose Copy and then move to where I want to Paste, R-click the mouse again, get the same menu, choose Paste but nothing gets pasted.
I know that it has been copied because as I mentioned if I then use keyboard Ctrl-V, the text is pasted.
Previously using the R-click mouse did work.

I also tested in the the Sandbox Vault and the bug occurs there as well.
For future reference, how do I do a screen record? Upon a quick Google search, they claim there’s a record option in developer console, but I couldn’t find that option in Obsidian’s developer console. Or do I use a 3rd party app?
