Thanks Jerry for your reply. The specifics are as follows.
Using a USB mouse, I'm unable to copy & paste any personal data files (videos, Office documents, etc) in any direction, i.e. to/from 'Desktop', 'USB', and '/home/mike' locations.

When I click on the mouse the 'copy' option appears as normal but the 'paste' option (though visible) doesn't work, i.e. it is greyed out and therefore not able to work. The copy option appears as normal when I click on the mouse. This is the first time I've experienced this problem - I'm working with LL2.8.

Cheers
Mike

2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
