Affects: meta-gnome2 gnome-core (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Dapper:

This is a general issue that seems to be independant of any individual program.
Pick any text field that supports copying, copy some text. Paste into any other
text field. It works. 

Close the source window or program. Paste now does nothing.

The example I just verified this with is gedit to gedit.

Also occurs with openoffice to gedit.
