Copy and paste only works when git-cola is open?

[joshuataylor]

So I want to copy something out of git-cola, so I CTRL+C (or right click, copy), then copy it elsewhere. Cool, all works.

I then close git-cola, and try and paste the same thing elsewhere, and it has cleared the copy/paste clipboard? This happens on Ubuntu 15.04, running XFCE.

edit: I'm also running the latest master.

Please refer https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClipboardPersistence if this is your problem.

I think I found a (workaround?) we can use to make this work. Thanks for the heads-up.

👍 , you two are awesome.

Didn't know about that clipboard persistence bug, how annoying! @davvid , confirmed that this fixes the issue, awesome!
