Description Syam 2009-05-01 20:07:19 UTC 
Version:           4.2.2 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open KWrite and tyoe something in it
2. Select the text and copy it (Ctrl+C)
3. Keeping the KWrite window open, paste the text in some other appication window - it works
3. Now bring up KWrite and type something else, and copy the new text (Ctrl+C again)
4. Close KWrite
5. Now trying to paste the text in some other application doesn't work!

I've tried to paste from GEdit to Opera, Opera to Konsole etc etc.

I use Fedora 10 (2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686).
qt-4.5.0-14.fc10.i386
kdelibs-4.2.2-7.fc10.i386

Is "Klipper" running ? If not, try running it.
Thanks

Thanks for the tip, I never have Klipper running. The guys at the Fedora-KDE mailing list explained how this is standard X behaviour and how Klipper helps.
With Klipper running, pasting works as expected.
Closing as 'invalid'. Thanks.
