Copying transactions from one data file to another doesn't work.

Question

Tried following the process outlined here:

https://www.quicken.com/support/move-transactions-between-quicken-accounts

There is nothing on the clipboard when I switch to the other data file. It's like Quicken is clearing it when the first data file is closed and the second opened. Is there a trick or is this yet another bug?

I was going between the exact same checking account in File1 to File2. File2 is now my working file and File1 had a bunch of goobered transactions.
