Cmd+c & cmd + v

For some reason my CMD+C & CMD+V shortcuts are not working anymore.

I have not made any changes to my Mac.

Does anybody have any idea what might be causing this and what can
I do to resolve the issue??

First, have you restarted the computer to see if that fixes it? Have you applied any updates recently?

What Mac OS X version do you run and in what application(s) does it happen?
Does it also happen in another, even temporarily created, user account?

A re-start did not fix the problem.

I am using google drive, a forum site and a zen-cart site to copy something
between and I have it in all three.

I just tried Text-Edit and I can copy and paste in there no problem.


(Mac OS X, 10.6.8.)

Are you doing this in Safari, if so reset safari, it's in the safari menu in Menu bar.

I am using Opera, but I am having the same issue in Safari, how do I reset??

Just to be clear, is it only NOT working in browsers but in Applications it is working?????
Please answer.

If it's in both browsers there is something else going on and resetting would not solve the problem.

Edit, if it's is only happening in a browser it might be a plugin.

It seems to be just happening in my browsers.

I just tried it in this Window I am typing in now, and I can copy and paste here.

I think the issue might just be when I am in Google Drive in an Excel sheet there. I used to be able to do these actions in there before though.
