This is not a bug. It is the time honored behavior of X Windows. Perhaps
neither one of you is aware of the fact that X has a separate concept of
selection and clipboard. 

The concept of selection and copy are not the same. For selection, whenever you
make a new selection it will overwrite the previous one. Period. If you do not
want your second selection to overwrite the first one, then you must actually
copy the first selection using CTRL+C or clicking on RMB (Right-Mouse-Button)
and selecting Copy from the context menu. Then you can make a second selection
and paste.
