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.

And IIRC, there are different types of clipboards on Linux, as well. 
See, for example, this link here:
