Re: Cut-Copy/Paste behavior

OK, I've tried some more, and if you click the left button anywhere
between the select and the paste, it doesn't work.  OTOH, you can use
the edit menu in mozilla and the other application (e.g. gnome-terminal)
and cut and paste works, regardless of any spurious left clicks.  I
tried the ^C - ^V cut and paste technique, and it works between firebird
and evolution mailer.
