Here’s one more scenarios, user is facing issue with Copy/paste on Windows 10 x64- Brave version 0.59.35

Steps to Reproduce:

Open a Google Spreadsheet in one tab (let’s call it tab A)

Open another Google Spreadsheet in another tab (let’s call it tab B)

Select a range of 3 cells in tab A and press Ctrl+C

Select one cell in tab B and press Ctrl+C

Go to tab A and press Ctrl+Shift+V

Actual Result: The pasted text is the copied from tab A in step 3

Expected result: Should paste the last copied data, which was from tab B

I am encountering this issue on both of my Ubuntu laptops. Both running Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS and the latest version of Brave. Copying images on Brave does not work and will make any app I paste into unresponsive. Works on Chrome so not an issue with laptop itself.

Unfortunately this a deal breaker so will have to move off Brave. I hope it gets resolved eventually.

More than 1 year later and still not solved - is somebody working on that?
