Cut and Paste in gmail

[Andre Mangan]

A message posted by me to an intended private recipient was redirected to
the list, thereby cluttering up another thread.  Therefore this is a fresh
posting.

The original question was:

Is there a way to paste something from a screen while working in gmail
without loosing that screen whenever I try to click on the gmail screen.
Sounds convoluted doesn't it?

Whenever I try to copy and paste a URL to be inserted into a gmail message,
the screen that the URL has been copied to is minimised and I have to toggle
back and forth between what I have saved and the gmail message that I am
trying to write.

Is there a way to keep a small screen visible while in gmail so that I can
copy from there to the gmail message without the small screen disappearing?

And, if I click on the leftmost icon at the top, as recommended, where
minimise to taskbar and close live at the right of the bar, I get minimise,
unmaximise, on top, move, resize, close, always on visible workspace, move
to workspace left (or right) and move to another workspace.

Am I pressing the wrong button or are there some crossed wires here?

Cheers,
Andre
