Copy not working in MSE

I've recently found that I cannot copy text from any post on an MSE forum page.

If I want to copy text I usually just highlight it and then right click and select copy but now if I do this MSE stops responding and I have to refresh the page. This has been happening for several days.

I use Win 10 64 bit and don't have this problem elsewhere.

Would appreciate any help on this.

    I've switched over to IE and 'copy' works fine here.


    Pity, because I like EDGE and have been using it for over a year without any problems. I suspect one of the latest MS updates is responsible for the 'copy' problem.


    Many thanks for your help.

    Edge has potential but it is still a "work in progress"
