I confirm what mlissner said, and I'm able to reproduce the problem. The copy/paste action fails when the menu is not shown.
This is highly reproducible with these steps:
- Log into Unity
- Immediately launch gnome-terminal (launcher panel, shortcut on the desktop, keyboard shortcut)
Result:
Most of the time, but not always, the first instance of gnome-terminal doesn't have a menu.
If I open other terminals (new windows) then the menu is displayed for these instances but when I switch back to the one opened first, the menu is not shown.
