For now, it seems that only Firefox exhibits issues. ** Project changed: linuxmint => firefox (Ubuntu)

To be precise: the copying (filling the clipboard) action is probably functional, but when I press Ctrl, the selection highlight disappears, so no text is copied. Pasting via Ctrl+V works, but that does not require highlighting. The problem is actually not only with Gmail. If I highlight a word in Firefox (say, on this page), and press Ctrl, the highlight remains, but turns grey, instead of the usual green color, as if the window had lost the focus. When I release the Ctrl key, the green color is restored. Also, in this scenario (provided I also press C, of course), the highlighted text IS copied to the clipboard. Finally, other applications, like LibreOffice or GEdit do not exhibit any of the problems described above. I am using Linux Mint 16, Cinnamon, 64bit. Firefox is at version 26.0 (i.e. the official Linux Mint version). This problem most likely affects Ubuntu as well. To reproduce problem 2: 1. Load a page in Firefox. 2. Highlight a word. 3. Push down Ctrl do not release it yet. 4. Observe that the highlight has become grey. 5. Press C. 6. Release the Ctrl key. 7. Observe that the highlight is green again. 8. Paste the contents of the clipboard to somewhere, and observe that the word you highlighted in Firefox is copied successfully. To reproduce problem 1: 1. Load Gmail in Firefox. 2. Click on 'Compose'. 3. Write a few words, highlight one of them. 3. Push down Ctrl do not release it yet. 4. Observe that the highlight has disappeared. 5. Press C. 6. Release the Ctrl key. 7. Press Ctrl+V, and observe that nothing gets copied (or only the previous contents of the clipboard, if it wasn't empty).
