That is very strange. Although with Ubuntu 9.10, I think your gschem version is likely to be 1.4.3 (checked on packages.ubuntu.com), and that isn't a supported version any more. This said, I'm still interested to know why the problem you've seen is occurring, as the 1.4.x buffer code is still used in the 1.6.x series. gschem 1.6.x now uses the clipboard for copy-paste - meaning you can now transfer schematic elements between gschem windows from different gschem processes. It also means that "paste" won't work once you've copied something different somewhere else, but I don't think this is what you're seeing. Can you detail some exact steps to reproduce the issue, or is it more random? -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
