   @djs It's historical baggage from X. Try a #clipboard manager like http://parcellite.sourceforge.net/ !gnome

     @djs Try Glipper; it grabs copied content and, since it runs all the time, preserves it if the source app closes !ubuntu !gnome

     @djs it's a big fly. See the !Ubuntu release notes, I believe it's there.

     @djs Try Parcellite or Glipper, they are both great clipboard managers.

     @djs Install parcellite, it will save the clipboard contents when you quit the application, so that it remains available for other apps.

     @djs This is standard behaviour and the reason why many people install tools like parcellite, pastie or glippy !Gnome !Ubuntu

     @djs it's as a side-effect of the feature that the target app can ask for the text in different formats

     @djs its on purpose... but you can workaround that if you use something like: pastie/glippy/and the like...
