Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 9.10 alphas 5 and 6 (and also in Ubuntu 9.04), 64-bit
Klipper, v0.9.7 (KDE 4.3.1) being used with standard Ubuntu Gnome desktop
Highlighted text (with mouse) sometimes does not appear in the clipboard
history displayed in Klipper, and therefore this text cannot be pasted
(middle-click paste desired, but C-p doesn't work, either). I have not
found it possible to tell why it works sometimes and does not work other
times. An example would be highlighting some text in Firefox to use as
a title when saving a web-page.
This behavior is a _regression_ - highlight and middle-click worked fine
in Ibex, then degraded in Jaunty, such that I had to try to use the very
defective Glipper.
Current behavior in 9.10 alpha 6 is that if highlighted text does not
appear in Klipper, highlighting same text a second time will cause it to
appear and be available for middle-click pasting.
In general, highlighting into system clipboards seems to be breaking
(i.e. works only sometimes, unpredictably) in Gnome in recent Ubuntus.
May have some similarities to bugs #311251, 380907 (though I do not
fully get the latter's description).
