With Firefox, I can only paste things that were copied after the program was started. If I copy a link (say, from an e-mail) and then open firefox to paste it, it won't work. However, if I copy or choose that text from the history in Klipper once Firefox is running, then I can paste it no problem... As far as I can remember, it has always been this way with Firefox, Seamonkey, Thunderbird and their friends. (I use KDE) I have not seen corruption like you're describing, though. As far as copy/paste methods, I've always favored ctrl-insert to copy and shift-insert to paste. :) And back in my OS/2 days I think they had left-right click to copy and right-left click to paste? Something like that. It was handy.
