Both Cut and Copy fill both clipboards. Are you sure that emacs uses the clipboard and not the selection for pasting?
Emacs is at fault here since it actually paste from selection. nedit works all right so I assume that lyx is working ok here.

I see that when I selection in nedit, lyx outputs 'lost selection'. So there is a missing update. Abdel? BTW, if paste, from an user's point view, always pastes from external, what is the point of menu item "paste external clipboard/selection"? If there is no objection, I am changing it to "paste special". Bo
