From Mike:
I think that  APAR SE68057  that I opened a week or two ago describes this.  Basically if there is selected text in *any* open source in LPEX then the restrict to selection is enabled.  This should only happen if it is in the current edit session (as you have found).
The work-around in your case I expect would be to un-select the section after doing the copy.
You can view or subscribe to the APAR here:

All the best,  Mike

Yes, wrap is selected.  Now that I look at it again, its related to the restricted search.  RDi seems to believe I have text selected somewhere, perhaps.

Do you have Wrap selected in this case?
Thanks,

I also have the issue where CTRL-F and typing a find selection doesn't find what I know is in the source.  So, I go to the top of the source, hit home, and it usually works.  I'm glad you've submitted a PMR for this infuriating although minor issue.
