===+++ READ THIS BEFORE MAKING A COMMENT OR MODIFICATION +++===
IMPORTANT 1: Please see the WORKAROUND a few lines below.
IMPORTANT 2: Please don't post any "me too message"; use the "Does this
bug affect you?" feature you can find a bit above this bug description
on Launchpad.
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. Developers have a tough time
to find anything if you post redundant stuff. So please abstain from
doing that.
*** WORKAROUND ***
---------------------------
- Install klipper, glipper, parcellite or xfce4-clipman
+ Install diodon, klipper, glipper, parcellite or xfce4-clipman
--------------------------------------------
*** EXPLANATION OF THE BUG ***
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.
