This bugged me for a while and I noticed that using Sun's JDK instead of openjdk solved the issue for me, so I'm pasting what I did hoping that it can help someone with the same problem:
1. Uninstall opensdk (will uninstall jEdit) 2. Add partner repo and install sun's JDK: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts -- Copy and Paste from jEdit to terminal Doesn't Paste (X11 selection / middle mouse works) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347308 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
