Bug Description
After working with Edgy RC1 for a certain period of time, using clipboard functions (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V), it just stopped working:
(1) selecting text in gedit was not possible anymore; at first, I thought it was purely visual, but hitting Ctrl-C did not have any effect (seeable with Ctrl-V)
(2) selecting text from an about window did give me visual feedback that text was selected, but when pasting that text with Ctrl-V (after copying with Ctrl-C) revealed that the text was NOT copied.
Note: when hitting Ctrl-V, it pasted a PREVIOUS text, so it appears that the copy-mechanism is broken. A reboot, just like in Windows :-( solves the problem.
Detected on Edgy RC1.
I am not able to reproduce this bug. Is this bug still happening?
