Comment 9 for bug 264805

As far as I see, the bug this was set a duplicate of just talks about problems when the program from where text is copied is closed. But here firefox, which is completely unrelated to the copy/paste process from and to gedit, is closed.
(Try it: Open gedit, type something, copy something from gedit, killall firefox, try to paste it in gedit -> doesn't work.).

Anyway, maybe I understood wrong. If you say it's a duplicate, it's probably true then.
