Public bug reported:
This has been bugging me (no pun intended) for a while now, so I've
decided to report it as a bug because that's what I consider it to be,
please correct me if it has some function I have overlooked.
Example: I want to start VirtualBox so I click on my short cut to
VirtualBox. Because I've upgraded VirtualBox the kernel module needs to
be recompiled and a windows appears which says which command to run in
order to do this. I highlight the command, and copy the text and close
the window. I open a terminal and I try to paste the copied text but
it's gone!
If I run VirtualBox again, copy the text and paste it into the terminal
while keeping the window with the text open it works fine. But as soon
as I close the program from which I copied the text, the text disappears
from the clipboard!
This is, IMO, really annoying and I've experienced it several times now
with other programs that I've copied text from and tried to paste after
the program has been closed.
