@matteo sisti sette (matteosistisette): "Reported by Arandonohue on 2004-12-20". That's indeed more than 6 years, but it's even more than 7 years. Besides that, it's been more than 7 years the bug was reported on Ubuntu's Launchpad, but this bug is way older. Even before Ubuntu existed, this bug already existed and was to be found in Linux distributions which existed 10 years ago.
Don't expect this bug to be fixed, because developers just don't care about this bug. If you want to get rid of this bug, then there's only one solution: Don't use this crap anymore. Install Windows or buy a Mac (or try to install Mac OS X on a regular PC). That's the only solution. My advice is to buy a Mac. I know they aren't cheap, but I did so and it works great. It's just absolutely gorgeous. Everything just works as it's supposed to. Just get rid of Linux completely. Using another distribution isn't an option, because it's all the same crap. Linux is only good for servers which run without a GUI, it's just not designed for desktops. For your desktop there are only two operatings systems which really work: Windows and Mac OS X (although I'm so sure about the first one, but it's way better than any Linux distribution available.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of UBUNTU - AL - BR, which is subscribed to Chromium Browser. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/11334 Title: MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste Status in AbiWord: Confirmed Status in ChmSee: Unknown Status in Chromium Browser: Unknown Status in Eclipse: Unknown Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Unknown Status in Epiphany - Clone of BoulderDash Game: New Status in gnome-utils - GNOME Desktop Utilities: New Status in GnuCash - Finance manager: Confirmed Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Confirmed Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Confirmed Status in Tomboy: New Status in Webkit Direct Port: Fix Released Status in X.Org X server: Invalid Status in Xournal: New Status in XUL + XPCOM application runner: Fix Released Status in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: ===+++ _____________________ !

IMPORTANT 3: Do not post anything if you haven't read all comments to verify that your point hasn't been made. If you feel tempted to stop reading because there are too many messages, that is a strong indicator that you shouldn't add even more comments.

So please abstain from doing that. *** WORKAROUND *** --------------------------- Install klipper, glipper, parcellite or xfce4-clipman -------------------------------------------- When I copy (Ctrl + C, or right click and "Copy") text from somewhere and after that close the program where it is, the clipboard gets empty. Steps to reproduce in gedit : 1. Pick any text field that supports copying, copy some text. 2. Paste into any other text field. 3. It works. 4. Close the source window or program. 5. Paste now does nothing. This bug will happen in any application that doesn't comply with the clipboard specification from FreeDesktop. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/ClipboardManager There was also previous considerations about improving xserver-xorg clipboard, which would reduce adaptation work from upstream projects to comply with the specification.
