Eclipse 3.5 Copy & Paste Problem

Question

Hello again :)

I recently updated my Eclipse to the latest release 3.5 and since then I have a very annoying problem with c&p using the shortcuts.

In an editor (xml, jsp, doesnt matter which one) I try to copy something and paste it somewhere else, nothing happens. When I cut out something and put it somewhere else I sometimes get something else (like a messed up part of my previous selection) or just some whitespaces. This gets even worse when I change lines in between.

First I thought that my keyboard is probably broken but it works just fine in other programms. Then I tried using the contextmenus c&p and there it works. Yesterday I managed to get at least an errormessage when I tried to copy a file in the navigator from one project to another (the message was just "error using copy...bla". no details).

Does anyone else have this problem, or knows how to solve it?

BTW: I am running on Kubuntu 9.04, and have quite some plugins installed (but only from the Galileo Updates Site), like Birt, Mylin, WST, or Subversive.

Thanks for the answer! It was quite frustrating with the C&P issue as it sometimes work sometime it doesn't. Since you've pointed me to the shortcut Keys configuration I've removed the copy and paste shortcut there as the windows shortcut should work with out Eclipse checking for it. And presto it works so far!
