(Get the code!)
I am sure it is a bug:
- Copying works in other X programs, even if the original selection is no longer selected (eg. gnome-terminal, firefox).
- Most users are very used to default X copy behavior, many of my students complain there is "something wrong" with gedit copy
- Making copying work without keeping original selected is obviously usefull in some cases. Losing copy buffer is probably never usefull.
Thus, I think gedit should be fixed to work like other gnome and X programs do.
