           Summary: Clipboard content lost when closing source application
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sgh at sgh.dk


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Clipboard content is lost when the source application - the application that I
copy data from - is closed.

It can be reproduced like this :
1. Open 2 instances of kwrite
2. Write something in instance 1
3. Copy the text with CTRL-C
4. Verify that the text can be inserted in instance 2 with CTRL-V
5. Close instance 1
6. Try to insert text again in instance 2 using CTRL-V

The expected result is that the text is inserted, but it isn't. Somehow the
data is not copied away from the application.

The same scenario applies when using the X11 middle-click approach.

It seems that all kde application is affected, but also data copied from xterm
disappears if xterm is closed.
