Yes it might very well be a Win issue; probably has to do with the window and clipboard handling.
I tested it both with Java 6 and Java 8 and older ImageJ versions and see the same behaviour.
Naturally this does not happen in Fiji since that has a completely different text editor.

Good day Stein,

I can't confirm this behavior under macOS with Java 6.
