FreeBSD is an operating system; it's not an integrated graphical environment. It is easy for novice users to be confused about this. You haven't told us here if you're using the text-based console, the X windowing system, or any particular combination of X terminal program and/or window manager, so it's difficult to offer useful advice. If the former, it could be a FreeBSD issue, i.e. with moused or the console driver, but you have pointed out that you're using a window, so I will assume you're using X (this implies it is not a FreeBSD issue). Traditionally X's clipboard support has been threadbare at best. Having said that, you may wish to try a clipboard manager program of some kind if this sequence of events is a problem for you. I would suggest you try installing KDE or GNOME or a similar environment and see what works for you as the concept of 'clipboard' is treated very differently by such environments.
