I confirm what mlissner said, and I'm able to reproduce the problem. The
copy/paste action fails when the menu is not shown.
This is highly reproducible with these steps:
- Log into Unity
- Immediately launch gnome-terminal (launcher panel, shortcut on the desktop,
keyboard shortcut)
Result:
Most of the time, but not always, the first instance of gnome-terminal doesn't
have a menu.
If I open other terminals (new windows) then the menu is displayed for
these instances but when I switch back to the one opened first, the menu
is not shown.
Adding a task for libdbusmenu

Importance: Undecided

** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Expected: the keyboard shortcut for "Paste" (set in Edit → Keyboard
Shortcuts...) pastes text from the clipboard into gnome-terminal.
Observed: the shortcut has no effect.
Other information:
- * Shift+Insert pastes from the clipboard, but is not listed anywhere as a
shortcut.
- * Changing the shortcut from the default (Shift+Ctrl+V) to other key
combinations does not help.
- * The keyboard shortcut for "Copy" works properly — either as the default
(Shift+Ctrl+C) or with another combination.
- * I created a fresh user account, logged in, started gnome-terminal, and
observed the same behaviour.
