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.
