Symptom: in any inventory window other than the main one, Copy does nothing, so Paste has nothing to paste. Each attempt logs:

WARNING #Inventory# llinventoryfunctions.cpp(3384) doToSelected : Menu tried to operate on empty selection

LLInventoryAction::doToSelected then resets the clipboard. The main inventory window works normally.

Not caused by:

#349 (hidden-panel update skip): it still fails with SLInventoryUpdateHiddenPanels set to TRUE.
Server state: nothing is sent, so inventory is safe.

Likely cause: the secondary window's context-menu or Edit-menu action is dispatched to a different panel's folder root (for example the main window's panel, or the wrong tab of the secondary LLPanelMainInventory), and that root has an empty selection.

Done when: Copy/Paste, Cut and every other context-menu action work in secondary inventory windows (both the + new window and a folder opened in its own window), and the main window is unchanged.

Reopening for work: still reproduces on current builds (Copy in a secondary inventory window does nothing). Back to To Do.

Fixed and verified by the owner on 2026-10-10: copy/paste from the context menu works in a secondary inventory window (commit 65dec7d8fb, pushed to main). Menu actions now act on the folder view whose context menu is open, not the main inventory panel; no inventory server writes were changed.
