Referring to the cut/copy & paste behaviour of Linux, with all due 
respect, it doesn't help to reply that:

"This is not cut/copy/paste. It works differently from Ctrl+XVC and is
completely separate from it. It really annoys me when people advertize
this as cut&paste."

Nor does it help to say please read the manual or any other geek Linux 
replies.  As you can see from the number of messages on this topic 
(which run in two threads), this is a real annoyance, and ought not to 
be bullied under the carpet with any "RTFM" attitude, or "Read the 
Technical Explanation" attitude .  This is one of the stupidest everyday 
Linux desktop defects, and one that would go a long way to encouraging 
Linux acceptance if it were fixed.  What's really annoying is that Linux 
developers are being paid (yes, we're paying them big-time - they're not 
working for free) to create this stuff, and it's really buggy and sloppy.
