Exactly. This is the point I'm always trying to make when talking to
Linux or Ubuntu fanboys. To them it's like the holy grail in operating
systems, but come on... if you can't even implement a proper clipboard.
This problem has always existed. Even years before Ubuntu existed this
bug already existed. Linux has never had a proper clipboard and they
just refuse to fix this. To them it's just the way it was designed and
that's what we have to live with. You don't like it? Well, that's your
problem, because they don't give a shit. This is just fucking insane!
How can these guys even take themselves serious?

No wonder they can't get any market share. Who wants to use such crappy,
buggy, amateurish piece of useless shit? Come on. A clipboard is one of
the core elements of an operating system. This should never fail. It
should just work. You write some text in LibreOffice Writer, you copy
this text and you immediately close the app (because that's a completely
logical thing to do, because you don't need this source app anymore,
because you're going to paste your text somewhere else) and then you
can't paste it anymore, because there isn't anything to paste. You just
copied this piece of text ONE SECOND ago and it's already completely
lost, forever! What the fuck?!?!?! Even a child can understand this is
absolutely ridiculous and this can never be the way you want copy/paste
to work. Still the developers (if you can even call this bunch of
useless amateurs "developers") of Linux and Ubuntu and their blinded
fanboys don't see it as a problem and refuse to fix it... or do they?
Maybe they just don't want to admit their design is flawed and they
don't want to admit they're not competent enough to fix this.

Anyway, just don't use this useless piece of crap. Just use a proper
operating system. Ubuntu and Linux in general suck so hard, even the
best porn star would be jealous. Just use Windows or OS X. Don't use
Ubuntu! Don't use Linux! It's absolute complete crap!

  ===+++ _____________________ ! 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 diodon, klipper, glipper, parcellite or xfce4-clipman
  --------------------------------------------

  *** EXPLANATION OF THE BUG ***
  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.
  Xorg : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25220

  A related proposal is to implement it in Wayland: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wayland/+bug/865885
