This has been happening to me too occasionally for a pretty long time now. Suddenly, the following commands/submenus become disabled (greyed out), both in Edit and context menus:
• Cut (Ctrl+X stops working) • Copy (Ctrl+C stops working) • Paste (Ctrl+V stops working) • Select All (Ctrl+A keeps working) • Select Items Matching… (Ctrl+S stops working) • Invert Selection (Shift+Ctrl+I stops working) • Duplicate • Make Links (Ctrl+M stops working) • Rename… (F2 stops working) • Copy to • Move to • Move to Trash (Del and Delete keep working) • Delete (Shift+Del and Shift+Delete stop working) The above operations which can be done via the mouse, without menus, are still available that way though (e.g. drag & drop, Shift+drag & drop, Ctrl+drag & drop). Keyboard selection also works as usual (e.g. Shift+arrows, Ctrl+arrows, Ctrl+Space). As far as I can tell, it happens randomly after Nautilus has been open for hours. Restarting Nautilus temporarily gets rid of the issue, which can be a real pain when I'm working with two panes (pun unintended), several tabs, and lots of expanded folders. Hope this will be fixed soon.
