Steps to reproduce in gedit : 1. Pick any text field that supports copying, copy some text. 2. Paste into any other text field. 3. It works. 4. Close the source window or program. 5. Paste now does nothing. - The example is with gedit to gedit. Also occurs with openoffice to - gedit. - - In some cases, like OpenOffice and Firefox, simply closing the source window - won't cause the problem. It only happens if the entire program is closed down. - This bug will happen in any application that doesn't comply with the clipboard specification from FreeDesktop. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/ClipboardManager - This -could- be the underlying cause of bug #7986. - This is a general issue that seems to be independent of any individual program. + There was also previous considerations about improving xserver-xorg clipboard, which would reduce adaptation work from upstream projects to comply with the specification. + Xorg : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25220 + http://www.x.org/wiki/CutAndPaste ******** Actual Status : ******** ----- Not fixed : ------ - Xorg : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25220 OpenOffice : http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=63092 GIMP | GTK+ : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510230 Chromium : http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=32291 Gnucash : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510205 Inkscape : ??? ++++ Fixed : +++++ Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird (Xulrunner) : Fixed in 1.9.3 trunk https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311340 Evolution : Fixed in 2.29 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258374 Pidgin : Fixed Gedit : Fixed Most Gnome apps, Fixed *************************************
