How do I copy text from emacs and openoffice into lyx under linux? I am

Micha,
I've found that I sometimes need to hold the shift key down when I mark
text with the trackball (mouse), and when pasting into the receiving
application.
I've copied from emacs to lyx without any problem. Just did a test, with
emacs running under X, too: left trackball button held down as I blocked
text in emacs; in lyx, click the left button where I wanted to insert the
text, then both buttons (emulating a 3-button mouse).
Worked like a charm.

Well, for some reason it just started working again, don't know what kept lyx.
I don't even think that I restarted it. It didn't accept paste in any form and
now it's just working again. Go figure.
There once was a bug that caused LyX to not accept external paste after
doing a "copy" inside LyX. If you somehow trigger that bug, just
save, restart LyX, and external pasting should work again. Maybe the
current fix isn't perfect.
