Product:Developer Tools Product Version:Xcode 7.1.1
Classification: Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
You can no longer export the contents of the simulator pasteboard to the host's pasteboard using Edit->Copy.  When you attempt to paste the contents in OS X, it pastes the original contents previously of the host pasteboard.  I.e. the export from the simulator does nothing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go into any app (e.g. Maps) on the iOS simulator in Xcode 7.1.
2. Add some text to a text field.
3. Select that text, and choose Copy to copy it to the simulator's pasteboard.
4. Optionally, verify that re-pasting the text in the simulator works as it should.
5. Select Edit->Copy from the Simulator app menu.
6. In any OS X app with a paste-able control field (e.g. TextEdit), try to paste the contents of the pasteboard (Command-V or right-click paste).

Expected Results:
The text you selected and copied from the simulator should be pasted into your OS X app.

Actual Results:
The original contents of your OS X pasteboard are pasted instead.  I.e. the export option from the simulator app does nothing.

Version:
Xcode Version 7.1.1 (7B1005), OS X Version 10.10.5 (14F1021).

Notes:


Configuration:
Simulator version 9.0, 9.1.  Tried different iPhone and iPad simulators, as well as hard resetting the simulators and trying from a clean install.
