Hi

This also happens in edgy.

I would like to point out a thing about the new copy/paste behaviour in gnome. The other day I recommended ubuntu to a collegue at work. He told me he was going to try it. Overall he said it was a nice system with some strange things... and you know what was the first thing he mentioned? This bug.

People comming to ubuntu from other operating systems expect to have a clipboard that stores data copied from an app even when it's closed. It's a common way to work, many people are used to close applications once they have finished using them... this makes the default behaviour weird...

Anyway, it's no ubuntu faults, I would blame gnome since changes something that worked to something new that doesn't work.

Thanks
