Hey -

This was reported previously and is currently in our system (UE-22443) for investigation.

Cheers

A workaround is to copy/paste anything in another window, like a text editor, and then it should start working again. That worked for me.

My suspicion is that the editor sees something in the clipboard that it can’t handle and hangs on processing anything else.

Thanks go to whammy for sharing this tip with me on the #UE4Linux IRC channel.
