[Bug 11334] Re: MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste
@matteo sisti sette (matteosistisette):
"Reported by Arandonohue on 2004-12-20". That's indeed more than 6
years, but it's even more than 7 years. Besides that, it's been more
than 7 years the bug was reported on Ubuntu's Launchpad, but this bug is
way older. Even before Ubuntu existed, this bug already existed and was
to be found in Linux distributions which existed 10 years ago.
Don't expect this bug to be fixed, because developers just don't care
about this bug. If you want to get rid of this bug, then there's only
one solution: Don't use this crap anymore. Install Windows or buy a Mac
(or try to install Mac OS X on a regular PC). That's the only solution.
My advice is to buy a Mac. I know they aren't cheap, but I did so and it
works great. It's just absolutely gorgeous. Everything just works as
it's supposed to.
Just get rid of Linux completely. Using another distribution isn't an
option, because it's all the same crap. Linux is only good for servers
which run without a GUI, it's just not designed for desktops. For your
desktop there are only two operatings systems which really work: Windows
and Mac OS X (although I'm so sure about the first one, but it's way
better than any Linux distribution available.)

Bug description:
===+++ _____________________ ! ALL USERS ! _____________________ +++===
===+++ READ THIS BEFORE MAKING A COMMENT OR MODIFICATION +++===
IMPORTANT 1: Please see the WORKAROUND a few lines below.
IMPORTANT 2: Please don't post any "me too message"; use the "Does
this bug affect you?" feature you can find a bit above this bug
description on launchpad.
IMPORTANT 3: Do not post anything if you haven't read all comments to
verify that your point hasn't been made. If you feel tempted to stop
reading because there are too many messages, that is a strong
indicator that you shouldn't add even more comments. Developers have a
tough time to find anything if you post redundant stuff. So please
abstain from doing that.
*** WORKAROUND ***
---------------------------
Install klipper, glipper, parcellite or xfce4-clipman
--------------------------------------------
When I copy (Ctrl + C, or right click and "Copy") text from somewhere
and after that close the program where it is, the clipboard gets
empty.
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.
This bug will happen in any application that doesn't comply with the clipboard specification from FreeDesktop.
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/ClipboardManager
There was also previous considerations about improving xserver-xorg clipboard, which would reduce adaptation work from upstream projects to comply with the specification.
