Vscode: File copy+paste no longer works within Explorer pane

Attempting to copy + paste a file in the Explorer pane appears to have no effect. The file does not even appear to be copied to the clipboard. Copying using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V) doesn't work, neither does copying using the right-click menu (you can select Copy, but when you try to Paste it is grayed out as though the clipboard does not contain the file).

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Using Code Insiders, open any project or start a new one and create at least one file
2. Select that file in the explorer pane
3. Press Ctrl+C to copy and then Ctrl+V to paste
4. Nothing occurs, instead of a copy of the file being pasted into the Explorer pane

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Attempting to copy the file will result in an error.

I can reproduce this on Ubuntu 18. On macOS all works fine.
The error is coming from the workingCopyFileService thus forwarding to @bpasero to also inveistigate
fyi @deepak1556 since we upgraded to latest Electron and this is probably the root cause

Very possibly a Electron 8 regression from our use of the clipboard storing a custom type:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/1ba6a15920c23d44a38f79e2225312c4417d9b56/src/vs/workbench/services/clipboard/electron-browser/clipboardService.ts#L46

[bpasero]

Hm, interestingly I do not see this fail from my ben/electron-sandbox branch where I moved clipboard access to electron-main process. It would be lucky, but maybe only clipboard in electron-renderer broke? Or this is related to another change that my branch simply does not have yet...

[bpasero]

Just verified that I can also not reproduce running from master with Electron 8 reverted.

been impacting me for a few days now. I can drag and drop but not copy/paste.

[dimitry-ishenko]

@bpasero was this fixed somewhere? I still can't copy/paste in the insiders version

[bpasero]

Yeah should be fine now with the insiders build from today where we reverted back to Electron 7:
