[Bug 11334] Re: MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste

[Mohamed Amine IL Idrissi]

Changed the GTK+ upstream bug because the precedent has been marked as a
duplicate.

** Description changed:

  ===+++ _____________________ ! ALL USERS ! _____________________ +++===
  ===+++ 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
  
  --------------------------------------------
  
  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.
