This problem just started the other day.  I can't right click and copy, then click into a Bitcoin wallet and paste.  The paste option is grayed out.  I can't control C and V either.  I can copy and paste every were else except crypto wallets.  I've tried copying and pasting into notepad and copy and paste from there - same problem.  I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.  I half wonder if the problem started when I installed Office 2013.  Am I the only one in the world with this issue.  It's obviously fairly serious.

Thanks

So far I've just tried BTC and FTC.  Not sure about the rest.  For example when I try to send and copy an address from anywhere I can't paste it into the address field in the wallet, but can paste it every where else (word, ie, notepad).  In other words, if I'm copying an address from a webpage or Cryptsy I can't paste it into the address field - all grayed out.  Also, obviously typing in these wallet addresses is crazy.  I'm worried about a Key Logger (did get hacked last summer and rebuilt the computer).  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I can paste from wallet history in both cases.

Uninstalled Office 2013 didn't help.  Scanned the piss out of my computer and didn't find anything.  Suppose that doesn't mean nothings there.

I know right - so small and yet so extremely frustrating  Grin.  Anyway, simple enough.

I've never actually typed one, but I do know if you mistype any of the  characters your money won't disappear to a stranger's address, the wallet software will reject the address, so that's good to know if you ever *really* have to type an address by hand Smiley
