I think Greg is correct, if it's in different windows. I'm a kde man, but in various circumstances, either online or off in file manager or kde browser, sometimes c/p works with right click c/p, and not with middle click, or vice versa. Usually I just clear klipper, and that fixes it. Or maybe I'm mistaken. I've just edited klipperrc to hold 50 items, so I'll find out if that delays the problem. Maybe kde developers don't realize many people like to save so many items in the buffer? Damon- I don't understand why the subject of your post is about KDE, if you use Gnome? Please advise, and enlighten me. Robert C.
