I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, and out of the blue I can no longer cut and paste, I imagine if I restart my computer I'll be able to, but thats a pain, how can I fix/reset the clipboard?

  1. Type "hello" into Text Editor
  2. Highlight the text "hello"
  3. Press CTRL-C
  4. See the text become unhighlighted (is this normal?)
  5. Press CTRL-V
  6. See the word "network" get pasted in.. perhaps that was the last thing I copied when it was still working?
