[xubuntu-users] copy paste problem

[leegold]

Hi,

I notice some action in the copying/pasting in Xuuntu that I'm
not used to:

If I highlight and copy a line from the terminal and then try to paste
to mousepad it works OK.

But if I close the terminal before I paste it then the copy/paste
does not work.

I'm noticing this throughout my Xubuntu experience - that
items/strings I copy get lost - IMO, once something gets copied it
should stick there...

Is there some thing I don't know about how this works in Linux
and/or Xubuntu?

Using 8.10

Thanks
