Changing component from "other" to "Selection".
Reproduced on PC/Linux with M15. 
Workaround: Press Alt-C (or Ctrl-C) after highlighting the text.
Please use M15 or later nightly builds for future bug reports.

 I believe this is fixed in the nightly builds since M15 was released.
The selection behavior under X is now much closer to that of traditional
X applications, where once you select some text it's automatically
exported as the current selection.

Pastes like a dream and has for a while - even to vi.
build ID 2000042609
Setting this as "works for me".
Please reopen if you see this bug in later builds.
