I can reproduce by:

1) Open text editor (gedit)
2) Select-copy some text from a terminal window - paste it anywhere (into the terminal or gedit), it works - good.
3) Type some text into gedit. Select-copy some of that text. Paste it to gedit or the terminal - works - good.
4) Select-copy some text from a terminal window. Try to paste it anywhere - the previous text copied in gedit is still in the copy-paste buffer - not good.

Now close gedit - copy works again from a terminal window.

So gedit (at least) seems to "take control of" or "lock" the copy-paste buffer.
