Dan Connolly : Developers regularly read bugs. When they can fix the bug, they assign the bug to themself and generally, it doesn't take a week before we get a update. Each Ubuntu release has blueprints, which are discussed in UDS with the ubuntu concil. Anyone can contribute and participate. However since ubuntu is a distribution, if this is not a mistake, the problem here doesn't seem to be the distribution but a software included in that distribution, namely xserver-xorg.
Of course Ubuntu could work together with xserver-xorg developer to find a solution, however, according to comments, this is not simply a bug fix, but a change in the clipboard specification. Therefore, I really doubt that ubuntu is the right place to ask this. Users in this bug report complains that this bug exist since years and years and years, but if you look at freedesktop bug in xserver-xorg attached to this ubuntu bug report, it was reported 2009-11-21. Unless another older bug exist, apparently nobody complained at the right place since the beginning. -- 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 Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
