copy and paste does not work well

2006-09-28 Thread kaktux
hi there, 
i am using kubuntu dapper drake with lyx 1.4.2

my problem is:
i can copy and paste in lyx documents - but when i select something in another 
application (firefox, thunderbird, kate, openoffice, etc.) and want to paste 
these words in my lyx document - it does not work. the other way round (from 
lyx copy - paste to another programm) the same.
copy and paste only works in the lyx-documents - but not text from any place 
else can be copied.

am i the only one with this problem or is it well known??
is there a way to do it?

Try using the middle mouse button to paste.

Or, if you don't have a middle mouse button, CTRL-SHIFT V. You'll see in the
Edit menu that lyx distinguishes between pasting from lyx and pasting from
external sources.
