I am having issues cutting and pasting material on DU and Discussionist

I know that I have cut the material in question because I can paste it into a word document. When I try to paste on DU or Discussionist, nothing happens if I right click or left click on the mouse. I am using Google chrome. I had problems this morning but the the issue cleared up

From my google search so far, it appears older versions of Chrome had copy paste problems.

I found the solution to allow Chrome clipboard usage... it's counter intuitive but it works.
You actually have to allow Microsoft Internet Explorer access to the clipboard and Chrome will inherit those settings.

1. Open IE
2. Go to "Tools...", "Internet Options"
3. Click "Security" Tab
4. Click "Custom level..."
5. Find "Allow Programmatic clipboard access"
6. OK
