New issue 23223 by chris.frostnet.net: upon middle click chrome empties  
clipboard from xclip but does not insert the text
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23223

Chrome Version       : 4.0.213.1-r27053
OS + version : Ubuntu 8.04 (kernel 2.6.27.31)
CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 32-bit
window manager : kwin
URLs (if applicable) : n/a
Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): browser inserts clipboard contents  
into input box and
removes from the clipboard
Behavior in Chrome for Windows (optional): n/a

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. echo hi | xclip -l 1 -verbose
2. middle click in a chrome text box to paste (e.g., the omnibar or the  
google.com search box)

What is the expected result?
1. the string "hi" is inserted into the input box
2. xclip exits and the clipboard is cleared

What happens instead?
Only step 2.


Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot
and backtrace if possible.

"echo hi | xclip -l 3 -verbose" and a middle click into the omnibar results  
in chrome
consuming all three clipboard events and inserting the text once.
"echo hi | xclip -l 4 -verbose" and a middle click into the google.come  
earch box results in
chrome consuming all four clipboard events and inserting the text once.
A smaller -l value for either scenario results in only consumed clipboards;  
no text is pasted.

"echo hi | xclip" and a middle click into a chrome input box works as  
expected (the text is
inserted). Note that in this scenario "hi" remains in the clipboard after a  
paste; this is why
this scenario works. Selecting text with the mouse and then middle clicking  
has the same
effect.

This behavior started within the past few chrome for linux releases.
