Description:
There's a necessity to transfer tables between different DB projects. It's a fact that Workbench doesn't work in MDI mode, therefore I had to load two instances of the application. However, copy-pasting between them doesn't work as well.

How to repeat:
Load two Workbench instances. Create any table in one of them. Right click it on tables list or database schema. Select "Copy 'table1'" or "Copy SQL" or "Copy Insert". Then switch to another instance and try to paste. Unfortunately, you will be unable to do that because this option is not active, just like nothing was copied to clipboard before.

Suggested fix:
None. Only manual re-creating.
