please report this bug upstream and paste the bug report url here. TBH, *all* applications do this. Try with gedit, firefox, anything. IIRC, the copy/paste buffer in X is managed by the application from which the copy originated. If it's closed, X "rightfully" kills the buffer. Bummer. Let's see what upstream say, but I'm pretty sure this cannot be fixed without a copy/paste manager (ie, a clipboard) (In reply to comment #3) > TBH, *all* applications do this.

This requires an external clipboard manager such as Klipper or Glipper. The upstream bug will probably be marked RESOLVED CANTFIX. My bad...I did not know about this. I have now added an xfce4-clipman plugin to my bottom bar and the clipboard works Thanks |
