I'm working in 3.5 RC, and I find that oftentimes copy and paste doesn't work. It happens randomly, though, as sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't. For example: in bar 1, I select beats 1 and 2, copy, and successfully paste them into beats 3 and 4. Then I select the whole measure, copy, select bar 2, paste, and nothing happens. Sometimes I have to try five or six or more times before it works. (Just doing the same thing over and over again--not doing anything differently.) Sometimes it doesn't work at all. (And, to clarify, I'm referring to copy/paste that should work; I'm not trying to paste something where it's not able to go.) I've been trying to capture a gif of the problem, but for whatever reason, whenever I do, the copy and paste works fine.

Is this reproducible? Can you attach the score itself?

I've seen similar behavior before, but it always seems random, and it works the second time, so I've never been able to pin down whether I'm imagining it or not.
