The hyperbole this issue creates is fascinating. First, I agree that the clipboard being so forgetful after an app closes is an issue. But some people here make it sound like it's comparable to critical security issues, or major features missing.
It's not of the highest priority because there really are much higher priorities. I really believe most people prefer speed and hardware support and reducing reggressions as high priority issues. And anybody switching to Mac or back to Windows and expecting 0 issues is up for a rude awakening. All platforms have their silly issues. I get annoyed every time my mousescroll doesn't scroll an underlying control - which happens a lot on Windows - and never on Gnome, where the window doesn't even have to have focus for the scroll to work. And I recently did some tech support for a Mac user where not only where some speed and file sharing issues - but it was easy - googling - to find many other Mac users having the same problem. And don't get me started on Apple clinging to the fantasy that 1 mouse button is enough. But if having to paste first and close the first app later is too much effort and this really is a fatal issue in anybodies opinion - then - yes - pick a platform where the issues are a better fit for your preferences. None of them is perfect. Pick whatever hurts you least. -- MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/11334 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
