:( we already had such kind of bug. in that case it was triggered this way: 1. launch lyx, new file 2. select some text in another application 3. paste text by middle button click (works) 4. select text inside lyx window and copy it by ctrl+c 5. select some text in another application 6. paste text by middle button click (does not work) but this should be fixed in 1.5.3. try to find out what triggers your case. pavel
