I cannot find a setting to allow this functionality to work. When I mouse over an array variable in debug for instance there is not option that becomes available to copying message paths/content. I have tried this in IE and Edge as well as Chrome with no success. I thought perhaps it was tied to pop up blocking but that is not the trick either. I have verified that this works with the same product and revision of Node Red 18.7 on another employee's laptop. Any clues about why I cannot see the options?
If you open the browser's dev console (F12), do you see any javascript errors, either while re-loading the page (F5) or when you mouseover the debug sidebar?
Also it would be good to post the node-red console log output when the server is started... this gives a good overview of the OS, all the s/w versions in use, and any potential issues with files or permissions.
Here is the console info

Looks like some chrome extension may be interferring
Yep -- a quick search for that extension id returns 'Norton Identity Safe'
Mike, could you try opening chrome://extensions and disabling that plugin? I would imagine you may have to restart chrome, or at least reload the node-red editor to clear out the conflicting js libraries.
That did the trick thank you very much!
