Also keep in mind there is a difference between the clipboard and primary selections in the X Window System. Since you never mention explicit clipboard copy actions (e.g. Ctrl+C), you may be talking about primary.

This is annoying, since if you want to search something from the clipboard on a page, you cannot paste it into the search field. Steps to reproduce: 1. open chromium, go to a website, e.g. http://www.ubuntu.com/ 2. select text, e.g. "Ubuntu" 3. press ctrl-f to open the search field (if empty, you can paste with middle mouse button) 4. select a different text, e.g. "Tastefully" 5. again press ctrl-f for a search 6. search field content ("Ubuntu") is selected AND in clipboard 7. you cannot paste "Tastefully", since "Ubuntu" is in clipboard Thanks for looking into it.
