more that the clipboard being cleared, I am finding that if I select and copy text from a page in firefox and paste it to another app: Gedit, Lotus Notes 8, OpenOfficeOrg Word Processor, the text values are corrupted. I get replacement characters:
examples ŸŸŸŸ (copying the URL address from Firefox, to paste here - again, in firefox)
or Ÿ钀 (copying page text and pasting here in firefox)

I am running ubuntu 7.10, with standard current patched inclusions, plus eclipse, Lotus Notes 8, and VirtualBox 1.5.6 PUEL and CLAMAV
I have also observed this bug with other applications, but am unclear as to whether I'd already attempted to run firefox in that session.. need to test this more clearly.
