Ever since installing the update with the new Explorer tabs feature there's this weird copy/paste bug using the ribbon buttons of the explorer windows.

1. Clear the clipboard history
2. Open two separate explorer windows (no tabs)
3. Copy a file from one of the windows using the copy button in the window ribbon

Usually, the ribbon's "Paste" button should now be activated in every explorer window for you to use. However, that button stays grayed out. For some reason you'd have to select a random file inside the explorer window for the button to activate.

This issue is not present when using tabs in 1 explorer window, or when opening a separate explorer window after copying a file.

It's a small bug but it gets annoying when one wants to selectively copy and paste many files.

Anyone else having this?

How about opening 1 empty folder and 1 folder containing 1 file (not in tabs but separate windows). Then copy that file; does the Paste button in the other empty folder window get activated even without clicking on anything in the empty folder window?

Yes the paste button in the ribbon/toolbar is how I did it and from folders open in separate windows. It's my normal way of doing this.

Weird it's only reproducible for select users. You'd think it's a basic Windows bug.

Simpler - just select another drive, then go to folder you want and button is no longer greyed out. This minor bug only affects the very first paste
