So I have to scratch my head on this...
Could it be that you're using different methods, with one working and the other failing?
After all, there's Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V, Ctrl-Ins/Shift-Ins, copying/pasting via right mouse button and context menu, copying/pasting via mouse-select/middle-mouse-button, etc.
Oh... At least I tried Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V and Mouse-Left (Mark)/Mouse Middle (Paste) and the context menus.
And IIRC, there are different types of clipboards on Linux, as well. See, for example, this link here: http://mutelight.org/subtleties-of-the-x-clipboard
Very odd.
<snip> Fascinating article. I am a KDE and thus Klipper user. I have noticed that sometimes pasting works perfectly fine whereas other times, I must activate the latest entry in Klipper. I wonder if that has to do with the difference between PRIMARY/CLIPBOARD/SECONDARY? I've noticed particular problems with OpenOffice. Thanks - John
I'm using neither Ubuntu standard (I don't like Unity) nor Gnome or KDE, I'm only using XFCE at this time. Maybe it's a problem with this environment?
Thanx,
Udo
