This means that if you copy something from an application, and then close that application before pasting it elsewhere, it's lost. For now I was able to fix this issue by installing parcellite. Also, there should be a better way to add a bug report to launchpad than fudging it like i had to, but I brought this up as a bug before, to no joy. -Denny Steps to reproduce this issue: 1. Install 17.10, boot to desktop 2. Open two applications, let's use a terminal and a browser for example 3. Copy the hostname string from the terminal, paste it to the browser 4. Close the terminal, try to paste the string to the browser again. Expected result: * Both step 3 and 4 should work as expected. Actual result: * Only step 3 works, after the application was close, the content in your clipboard will lost.
