Title:
  Unreliable copy/paste functionality in Eclipse after upgrading to
  11.04

Status in eclipse package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in thunar package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: eclipse

  Copy/paste functionality using keyboard shortcuts in Eclipse became
  very unreliable after upgrading from xubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. No
  noticeable pattern: Could copy/paste the exact same way over and over
  and get hit-and-miss results. Using mouse menus for copy/paste appears
  to work fine. On failure, pasted contents are empty.

  When copying using keyboard shortcut in eclipse, xfce4-settings-helper throws:
  (xfce4-settings-helper:3137): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_clipboard_set_with_data: assertion `targets != NULL' failed

  ...this does not occur when copying from within eclipse's Edit menu,
  only with Ctrl+c.

  A workaround is to disable (or kill) the xfce4-settings-helper
  process, at the expense of the services it provides. After this
  process is disabled, the copy/paste functionality is flawless.
