[Gambas-user] No ctrl-c and ctrl-v (copy/ paste) since V3.16.0

As You may have experienced I am a specialist for weird bugs :-)).

I have a new and important finding, which doesn't fix the bug, but which
allows me to make the short-keys work again in any troubled project:

I noted one important difference between the project-version where the
short-keys worked and the project-version where they didn't work.
This was found in the ".settings" file of the IDE and suddenly all
different reports to this bug became explainable:

The number of files which are kept open in the code editor are
typically increasing the longer people work on the project.
In my case that were 18 files (I am just too lazy to close them).
All these 18 files are opened again when I start a new session.

So I reduced the number of opened files/tabs step by step, reloaded
the project and suddenly the short-keys worked.

When sending a project to someone, the number of opened files is just
2 (virgin status). At this number the Gambas-IDE seems to have no
problem - even on the weakest PC.

The problem occurs on all my PCs because I copy the whole
project directory over the network - including the ".settings" file -
which forces all my PCs to open 18 files/tabs with the same bad result.

It also explains a user report were he had a well working IDE
and next day he had a problem with the short-keys. Probably
because he opened some more files during the last session.

This tells me that since V3.16.0 the Gambas-IDE became critical
with regard to the amount of loading processes when a project is
opened. The general size of the project/ code may also play a
role during loading.

With this it is also apparent that a quicker PC will be less
problematic and a quicker Gambas (if run with qt) too.

Thanks for your offer to take care of this bug.
