I know, this sucks. Normally on Windows platform source could be copied every though it's already closed. So when I'm on Linux, I have to be extra aware and extra careful by leaving the window of the copied source opened before pasting. -- Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before

I'm glad I'm not the only this has effected. Why is this taking so long to fix? Could it be because traditional linux users don't want to lose the clipboard integration that they put into the terminal emulator? I'd bet so. This is unacceptable. Here's a write up of a frustrated linux user who

@David Siegel, I don't think that the amount of discussion should be a factor on whether this is a papercut or not, nor do I believe that there are divergent opinions on this bug - everyone is pretty much saying the same thing - copy/paste in linux is laughably broken and has been for many years.
