Why when I copy something and then go to paste it, "paste" is no longer highlighted and therefore it won't paste.

I use the copy and paste all of the time. Today when I copied something and then went to paste, it would not paste the item. "Paste" is highlighted along with "copy" but when I go back to click on "paste" it is no longer highlighted and thus will not paste.

The copy may have failed. Did you try again?
