This could be intended FWIW - It may irritate others if selecting text in the terminal blows their clipboard away, but I do think the blatant "Copy Link Address" operation should overwrite the selection buffer. -- Selected text takes clipboard precedence over other actions https://bugs.launchpad.

Working one is 8.40.4. The broken driver is xorg-driver-fglrx packaged 7.1.0-8.37.6+2.6.22.4-12.4 (or just 8.37.6 I guess). Seems a bit of a serious problem to not get into Gutsy release, unless I'm the only one who's experienced it. -- [Gutsy] xorg-driver-fglrx: multihead breaks catastrophicly

Ahh it does appear that it's starting gnome-settings-daemon. Killing that takes the fonts back to normal. It appears as well in the strace to be started by Totem so I assume it's needed for it. Perhaps then this bug is invalid. My Ion3 should probably start gnome- settings-daemon for me to use the

I can confirm this bug happens on Feisty as well. It's unfortunately the only way we seem to be able to add printers at all in Ubuntu (where it works!) so I think the importance should be raised. "Low" seems a little trite for a bug that makes a package totally broken -- foomatic-gui: Unable to
