Here is my experience with copy and paste in linux.  There are two ways to do 
it.  The traditional unix way by highlighting text and then middle clicking 
where you want it, and the windows way, where you use ctrl-c and ctrl-v to do 
the job.  Consequently there are two different buffers you are using.   Every 
time I have had trouble pasting something with ctrl-v, as in your example, 
something else unexpected, it turned out that I had some text highlighted 
somewhere else that caused the trouble.
