Annoying instance of Ctrl-c,v disabled

I've got some annoying and persistent behavior using YouTube.  I am unable to paste from the clip-board into the discussion area.  I am able to type in this are, just not paste.  The inability to paste does not transcend to other web pages or software.  The key combination or right mouse click works to copy/paste everywhere except YouTube discussions.  Is there a way that the software can disable the procedure?  If so, is there something that I am able to do to be able to paste into the discussion?

Hi terryfelter,

you didn't mention what browser you are using, but take a look here and see if this does the trick for you with Firefox

tried the procedure of about:config and button, next type "dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled although it wasn't type it, it was more like find it in the list and double clicked so now it reads false.  BTW the two commands were pasted here,  and in You tubediscussion area .Will this be a continuing problem that will need to fixed each time Youtube is opened?

Any help for IE?

Hi terryfelter,

1 the fix using firefox should be enduring
2 Have you tried it in Chrome …does it paste to You tube OK?
3 As to IE, try starting IE with no "add ons" and see if this does the trick, post back and let us know.
 
4 if no joy then do a "clean boot" and see if the paste works.
Here's how:

5 Are you remembering to paste the text firstly into notepad (to strip out the formatting) and then copying it from notepad into You tube…?. note it must be notepad… Word will just add to formatting and that is not what is needed.
All best

paws, yes copied to notepad

I don't/won't use Chrome, too many issues.  I did a clean BOOT DISABLING the add ons and restart with no few servicesservices snd still doesn't work in IE

Forgot to add that yes I did copy the data to notepad and then attempted to copy/paste from there

Ok, but where is that particular default setting? In tools internet options security?

Done, but Flash Player gone which will need to be re-installed and then enabled as I use a web site that requires  it running/enabled.  I'll reboot later before installing and see if any difference is noted

Just started IE and notepad.  pazste a link onto notepad copied from notepad and then attempted a paste into YouTube, without success.

OK All understood:
Try opening the You tube page in compatibility mode on Internet Explorer 11 and see if this helps
Here's how taken from here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie11-windows_7/internet-explorer-11-cannot-use-copy-paste-within/5b4489fc-9208-45d9-ac1d-b027fc494e7d?page=4&auth=1

You may try to open these website in compatibility view and then check the status. You may refer to the steps provided below to open the website in compatibility mode.
•Open Internet Explorer 11.
•Open the website which is giving you the error.
•Press alt key to open tool bar.
•Now click on tools.
•Then click on Compatibility view settings.
•You will the name of website under Add this website, so click on add to add this website.
•Close the window and now try to sign-in to the website.

If still no joy then its a question of waiting for an update to IE 11 from Microsoft( don't hold your breath!) or reverting to an earlier version( not recommended) or using Firefox or chrome to paste stuff to You Tube.
