Cmd-X not working in IDE (2016r4.1)

all of a sudden (it seems) Cmd-X doesn’t work.
It cuts the selected text, put instead of putting on the clipboard, it deletes it
if I do a Cmd-V the results are the last thing I copied…

so the only way I can get the same as Cmd-X … Cmd-V is
Cmd-C…Cmd-V (go back to original and Cmd-X)

very annoying… and if this is a known bug , then sigh… as I don’t have the $$$ to afford to upgrade this year :frowning:

I suppose you have restarted the IDE and/or the Mac ? This kind of stuff could be random.

good idea… restarting IDE “seems” to have solved it… for now

I cross my fingers
