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. Windows and Mac OS X behave this way, so should Xorg.
A comparison:
Ubuntu: Open Firefox. Copy the URL. Close Firefox. Open OOWriter : Can't paste url
Windows : Open Firefox. Copy the URL. Close Firefox. Open OOWriter : Url pasted !
And it has links to many duplicate bugs of people wanting it fixed. Now I know this is mainly a design flaw and not a bug in code per say, but it's been 16 years now. It's time has come to be redesigned the way windows and mac os x do their clipboard.

PS I did do a search using clipboard as my search word and nothing like this has come up.
