Cannot copy to clipboard

[CodingLama]

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

I am having two Micros opened and I would like to copy a segment between them. So I select string in the first one with a mouse (click on the left button and drag). Then I click on the right button and a pop-up window with options opens. Unfortunately, Copy option is grayed out so I cannot copy it to the clipboard.

I do have xclip as recommended in readme.dm.

As a workaround, after selection press Ctrl-c to copy to the clipboard. I prefer xsel over xclip.

press Ctrl-c to copy to the clipboard

It doesn't work either.

Do you have xsel installed? Try this in the terminal:

$ echo hello | xsel -b

Now open gedit and press Ctrl-v to paste "hello". Does it work?
