Ubuntu QA guy Simon Law puts it like this: "Thank you for your report.
This behaviour has always been the case and is a design feature of X11. You are describing SELECTION and PRIMARY buffers. They were separate and have semantics that are both supported by major X applications. It is unlikely that this will change in the near future, even though more and more applications prefer exposing the PRIMARY buffer in their menu systems." ** Bug 35875 has been marked a duplicate of this bug ** Bug 36165 has been marked a duplicate of this bug ** Bug 57415 has been marked a duplicate of this bug -- Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste https://launchpad.net/bugs/11334 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
