2006-10-21 14:10:52 markba description After working with Edgy RC1 for 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. Detected on Edgy RC1.

2006-10-22 16:13:24 Jeff Greene gnome-desktop: statusexplanation I'm sorry to have to do this, but since you cannot reproduce the bug and you do not have any logs of the crash since it did not crash, I am going to reject this bug. Thank you for your effort in trying to improve Ubuntu by submitting bugs and I encourage you to do so in the future.
