this is normal in x - copy & paste is a transaction between 2 clients. "copy"
or "cut" simply has the source app own the selection - it says it owns it. when
you paste the target app you paste in then requests the data from the source
app (they negotiate a common format) then the data is transferred. if the
original app is gone - this transaction cannot take place as the selection
owner is gone and no negotiation and transfer can happen.n this has been x11
selections (and wayland too) ever since day 0.

you could try a clipboard manager that basically pasts to itself whenever it
sees a new selection owner and then stores this... and it becomes the
selection owner...
