No noticeable pattern: Could copy/paste the exact same way over and over and get hit-and-miss results. Using mouse menus for copy/paste appears to work fine. On failure, pasted contents are empty. When copying using keyboard shortcut in eclipse, xfce4-settings-helper throws: (xfce4-settings-helper:3137): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_clipboard_set_with_data: assertion `targets != NULL' failed ...this does not occur when copying from within eclipse's Edit menu, only with Ctrl+c. A workaround is to disable (or kill) the xfce4-settings-helper process, at the expense of the services it provides. After this process is disabled, the copy/paste functionality is flawless.
