IntelliJ IDEA Editor crashing when copying code with ctrl+c

Please define "crashing" and share the logs/crash dumps.

Whenever i am coping code/text from intelliJ editor, editor stopped working and have to close and restart editor.

please refer the problem module below

What Java version is used to run IDEA? See https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206544879. Do you use the bundled Java version?

Do you have any third-party plug-in installed?

Please share `java_error_in_*.log` files from the user profile (home) folder.

Java version is 1.8.111

Using windows 7 not able to find java_error_in_*.log file in my user home folder.

Please share idea.log (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/207241085). You can upload it here: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206869619.

Done uploaded

Can't spot any issues from the log. It's some low level system issue. Could be a conflict with some other app or service (antivirus, firewall, backup software, drivers, etc). Or it could be a hardware issue (like faulty RAM).

As there are no C:\Users\Venkatgiri_Das\java_error_in_idea_*.log files, it would be hard to analyze the issue.

You can try running idea64.exe using the 64-bit version of JetBrains Runtime from https://bintray.com/jetbrains/intellij-jdk/openjdk8-windows-x64#files. See https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206544879.

i have find out the issue from idea.log file, log given below please look into it.

This error cannot cause the crash.

Configured the intellij as per comment 5 but facing same issue even though with right click action.

intellij stopped working when ever  copy text, copy file path and cut the text from .js files, .java files not have same issue.

please suggest me to resolve the issue

Could you please try to check the issue with IDEA 2017.1 EAP: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/IDEA+2017.1+EAP ?

Looks like some system error. Have you checked your RAM?

Also please try to check the issue with new instance of IDEA (e.g. install EAP) without importing any settings.

Issue solved with zip files

Venkatgiri, I have the same issue. Can you let me know how you fixed it? What do you mean by "solved by zip files"?

Download https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/download-thanks.html?platform=windowsZip and extract the zip file and run the idea.bat file from command prompt. 

idea.bat in bin folder

Thank you @Venkatgiri! That was very helpful. I just used idea.bat that came with the regular installer and did not run into issues. I will report back in a few days to confirm.

Meanwhile, while I was still debugging the issue, I found that renaming/relocating the .java file to where the absolute file path length was shorter than ~140 characters seemed to not trigger the issue. That wasn't going to be a real solution, although it was interesting enough to point out.
