Helper ICan't copy paste visuals in desktop
Hello jbrooi
I have had the same problem for a while now and nothing I did seemed to fix the issue.
Is there any chance you are working with Citrix or a similar Remote Client?
I found a workaround in the community:
https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Bug-in-the-new-May-Update-Copy-and-Paste-of-Visuals/m-p/4723886#M1410115
This suggests to first close the remote client and also all related tasks. After that I restarted Power BI Desktop and copy and paste worked again just fine.
I hope this might help you as well.

jbrooiHi ME_3 ,
Correct, I found that this is the issue. When a Citrix session is open, the copy paste doesnt work (after a while) in Power BI. Thank you for the workaround!
Seeing the amount of problems raised by users, it is probably wise to create a ticket, although it could be Citrix's problem - and if it's not already raised.
Thanks.
