I can reproduce by: 1) Open text editor (gedit) 2) Select-copy some text from a terminal window - paste it anywhere (into the terminal or gedit), it works - good. 3) Type some text into gedit. Select-copy some of that text. Paste it to gedit or the terminal - works - good. 4) Select-copy some text from a terminal window. Try to paste it anywhere - the previous text copied in gedit is still in the copy-paste buffer - not good.
Now close gedit - copy works again from a terminal window. So gedit (at least) seems to "take control of" or "lock" the copy-paste buffer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1723884 Title: Copy of text from terminal window does not copy Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: - do a default install of Ubuntu 17.10 - open a terminal window - select some text, click and select "Copy" - go to any other application and try to paste the text Expected: The text is pasted Actual: There is no text pasted Problem happens with all text selection/copy methods that I can find, e.g. laptop touchpad, external wireless mouse, shift-ctrl-C. Using a brand new Dell Inspiron 14 5000 series laptop. Text can be copied fine from other application windows (e.g. gedit) and then pasted into the terminal window. So it seems to be just the copy operation in the terminal window that does not work. Also, I can't believe this is really broken and not reported, because many many people would quickly notice this. I can't think what I can do wrong to have caused this problem. But yet here I am?
