What are some Android keyboards I can count on not to grey out the clipboard?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 active with OS Android 8.0.0. My problem here is that the keyboard often greys out the clipboard when I need it the most. You can see it in the attached screenshot.

Right now my only working computer is my smartphone. The screenshot shows what happens if I try to post a link on Malware Tips.
I can't do it because the clipboard is greyed out.

The default keyboard on this Galaxy S7 active is the Samsung keyboard.

Test thank you I was able to get that to work, but it still would be great if I could use the clipboard off of a keyboard.

Do you know why the clipboard gets greyed out in certain situations?

I may need to go to an Android forum. If anybody has suggestions about the best move in that regard they're welcome.

I don't own any Samsung devices to check with.

Troubleshoot:
  • Check for updates
  • Make you are not using a beta version (unstable)
  • Review the Clipboard settings / Keyboard settings
  • Clear data/cache (resets app to default)
  • Reboot device
