It's funny how freedesktop expect everyone to adhere to a standard that neither no other OS has implemented, and then no one adhere's to it, and thus the feature doesn't actually work like it should do because one community expects the ownus to be on everyone else, copy/pasting has become a bit of a joke.
I mean this is pretty standard stuff, the end-user, my mother, brother and sister don't care whether evolution, thunderbird, pidgin, virtualbox, gnucash, sunbird, GIMP, and OpenOffice aren't adhering to the standard, they expect copy/paste to work. I realize that it's not about the majority here, if so, Microsoft's implementaion of HTML should be officially standardized for everyone to use, but about each community to have the right to say 'I will not implement that in that way'. However, I do feel that it is Ubuntu's responsibility to make the desktop experience seamless for the user. Until the bugs have been reported and solved in all the aforementioned applications, I feel it would be a very reasonable solution for Ubuntu to come with a clipboard manager by default, and tolerate the performance loss until things are implemented properly. Glipper doesn't cut it to be honest. You have to manually access the clipboard history (which is one-click, admittedly ) in order to retrieve the lost contents. However, either a patch to glipper so that it compensates for this bug is needed, or another manager which does the task properly. -- firefox doesn't work with gtk clipboard management https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/21202 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
