Interesting you should bring that up so I played around with middle
click, right click and Ctrl+V

Although it can produce different paste results, it's not the issue I am
having I don't think.

The issue is that it's taking more than one copy function to actually
copy to the clipboard to have something new to paste from some
applications. Whichever clipboard that is.

For example I can copy from Firefox and paste to a text editor. I can go
copy text from Master PDF Editor by Ctrl+C twice. Ctrl+V or right click
pastes the text from Master PDF Editor. Middle mouse click pastes text
from Firefox still. I can copy new text in Master PDF Editor by Ctrl+C
twice and paste the new text. Middle click continues to paste the text
from Firefox until I copy some new text in firefox.

The middle click one seems to work just fine to paste from firefox. One
copy one paste. It may work OK in other applications too I don't know.
But it apparently doesn't work at all in some others like Master PDF
Editor, while two Ctrl+C's does work in these other applications.

I'm dumb about this. I guess the X11 one works fine if it works at all
in the application you are copying from? And the other one does not work
reliably without doing Ctrl+C twice in some applications you are copying
from.

I don't know. But it is certainly going to be April in a few minutes.
