I've been trying to narrow this down, but am having problems with that
-- this is really a Heisenbug! The copied text does paste, most of the
times, sometimes, however, it doesn't.

Here's a more detailed scenario that I was trying to get to work. I'm
trying to build a fairly complicated formula, so have it broken down in
steps, and am now trying to combine the steps together: I'm trying to
copy the formula in cell J8 into the parentheses in cell K9:

1. Select J8 with the keyboard
2. hit F2 to get a cursor in the cell
3. select all the text with ctrl-shift-left arrow
4. copy with ctrl-C
5. hit return to leave the cell
6. navigate to K9 with the keyboard
7. hit F2 to get a cursor
8. use the left arrow key to get to the parentheses
9. hit Ctrl-V to paste the text
10. hit return to accept the entry

Now, I was trying all possible variations on these commands (using only
the mouse and the menus, etc) and nothing was working. I then deleted
everything but cell J8, and tried the steps above, and, lo and behold,
it worked.

So then I went back to the original, and tried the same ten step ... and
now it worked ...

I then tried repeating the copy, with exactly the same 10 steps as
above, but to another cell ... and now it doesn't work any more ...

I've attached the workbook with the problem.
