Just experienced this issue again. Followed the debug steps above. Here are the results…

  1. open Main Menu -> Edit, see if Cut menu item is not grayed out
    It is greyed out.

  2. hit CMD+X on some file
    Does nothing.

  3. execute CMD+X on some file via menu item in Edit menu
    It is disabled. Does nothing.

Here’s the console output from CMD-X:

Here’s the console output from the disabled menu item:

Re-enabling the “Show CutPaste buttons in Context Menus” immediately fixes the issue.
