With the current version 12.9 I often get this error message.  
But the Clipboard works. Since I have opened parallel many editors in TOAD, I suspect that is causing the problem.

Hey Stefan,

Did you disable the “Copy text in RTF” option that Greg mentioned from your other post? That may eliminate the error message you’re seeing.
