I confirm that when changing the java environment to sun-java-6 (64 bit), the problem doesn't sussist (using squirrel-sql as test case).
Not sure how related it is, but using glipper, openjdk was copy/pasting from java apps to gedit (but not to the terminal). -- Can't copy from java applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu. Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: With my java applications, NetBeans and SquirrelSQL, I can't copy text from the application to any other external application (e.g. terminal, gedit). I can do the reverse operation though - e.g. copy text from the terminal to squirrel sql. I can (unfortunately) reproduce it everytime - in fact, I can't copy any text from the Java applications.
