If it fails when they paste via right-click menu, it's actually a known issue/design decision on Drive's side. Try using shortcuts instead.

I expect that if this were the problem, OP wouldn't be mentioning it.

When you attempt to use the right-click menu to copy and paste, you get a clearly-worded message box that tells you that you need to use the keyboard shortcuts, and which keyboard shortcuts to use.

I had similar problems using Google Docs on Safari too, so I think it’s just a bug on Google’s side.

AIUI, Safari is the IE6 of the "Modern Web".

For the downvoters:

Go make friends with someone who works on Safari, then take them out for drinks. You'll understand why I'm saying what I'm saying. :)

I know a guy who works on core web-dev stuff at Google.

He tells me that Edge is often very quirky in very subtle ways. He's had to spend many, many hours diagnosing, reporting, and working around quirks in Edge. These quirks sometimes get fixed and sometimes do not, but are often not present in Internet Explorer.

We have a fairly large-ish JS codebase at work and from what I saw so far is that Edge's JS was never a problem. SVG rendering on the other hand is horribly broken currently for some cases.

That being said, since our JS is generated, it's purely ES5 since it still has to run on IE9. So maybe the weird cases are in the more modern JS parts we don't use.

This is just how google docs/scheets/slides etc. works on every browser and every OS.
