Fortunately this works well in KDE. - - This -could- be the underlying cause of bug #7986. + This -could- be the underlying cause of bug #7986. This is a general issue that seems to be independant of any individual program. Pick any text field that supports copying, copy some text. Paste into any other text field. It works. Close the source window or program. Paste now does nothing. The example I just verified this with is gedit to gedit. Also occurs with openoffice to gedit. In some cases, like OpenOffice and Firefox, simply closing the source window won't cause the problem. It only happens if the entire program is closed down. + + 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. + + This bug will happen in any application that doesn't comply with the clipboard specification from FreeDesktop. + http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/ClipboardManager + + Actual Status : + + Firefox : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311340 + Thunderbird : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221183 + Sunbird : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412782 + OpenOffice : http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=63092 + Evolution : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258374 + GIMP | GTK+ : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510230 + Gnucash : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510205 + + Pidgin : Fixed + Inkscape : Fixed + Gedit : Fixed + Most Gnome apps, Fixed
