when using clipboard to copy some text from Gnucash under Linux, the text
stored in the clipboard will be erased if I close Gnucash. A lot of programs does have that bug right now and this is due to a recent change in the Freedesktop
Clipboard Manager specification which you can find here :

This bug is also found in Firefox and Thunderbird

Duplicate of bug 311340 which should implement this for all Mozilla platform products?

If bug 311340 is for all mozilla products, of course I think that it should be marked as a duplicate. Also the Thunderbird one.
