I have stumbled upon what I believe is a serious bug in PS5 when using extensions or panels. It seems that copy and cut via JS do not work on Windows!
Do this:
Using Adobe Configurator 2.0 create a new panel with one JS button
Use this JS code var docRef = app.activeDocument;docRef.selection.copy();
Run the panel on PS5 on MAC - works!
Run the panel on PS5 on Windows - DOES NOT WORK!
This is the same result as when creating a panel with flash builder + JS file.
I've created a panel with this JS code so you can try it:

Copy and cut with JS running from the ExtendScript toolkit or just from the scripting menu works fine on Windows. It does not work when running from Flash.
Any suggestions?
