Related to: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Description
If you select a text witht he mouse it is one copy buffer (A), and if you select text and press ctrl+c it is another buffer (B).

For those of us who like select a text with the mouse and paste with shift + insert we are usually paste-ing from the B buffer.

It is possible to syncronize the buffers with klipper which is a KDE application but this should be on by default.

Why? Isn't it great to have two clipboards? I use them quite often for example to copy both an URL and a description.

Maybe you didn't have 3rd button on you mouse (middle clic)..

I didn't know about this "feature". Seems very confusing to me, vote up.
