"Copy and Paste" of marked text is not working anymore

Hi, since the last Big Sur Update "Copy and Paste" oft marked text is not working anymore. Especially formatted text. It doesn't work anymore neither with "cmd + c & cmd + v" nor with "edit-copy" and edit-paste!?! How to fix that issue?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13

Which applications exhibit this behavior?


Does this occur for a different user, e.g., Guest ?

Does this occur after starting up in Safe Mode


Consider the possibility of a third party software conflict.  EtreCheck can be used to investigate what is installed.  Give it Full Disk Access. You can post the report here. Someone might spot something.
