I just noticed a problem in FC10; I'd left a gnome-terminal running for several days
and copy/paste had stopped working reliably - could sometimes paste, but not copy.
Starting a new instance seems OK. I think I'd seen that on FC9 too - after using a
window for some time, it would screw up and then I'd have to kill it and start a new
one.
(I had suddenly panicked and thought someone had deliberately broken it, or made it
optional or something stupid)
Seriously, middle-mouse paste being broken is a major usability issue.
You might want to post this to fedora-list. Fedora-test-list is mostly
about Rawhide (future F12).
