On Linux, i can no longer select text in Firefox Nightly and paste it with middle click. I can select text in other apps in paste in Firefox, but copying is broken from within Firefox. I believe this started 2 days ago.

Any relation to this error that just popped up a few days ago?

Confirmed that the first bad build is 2011-07-20. Regression pushlog for that nightly:

On mozilla-inbound, the regression started in today's nightly -- that yields this regression pushlog for that branch:
http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/pushloghtml?fromchange=e2c917e0bc31&tochange=eac851d9d505

and this subset of that (a merge from m-c) intersects with the m-c pushlog from comment 3:
http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/pushloghtml?changeset=8670ac4f18b1

In that range, bug 671319 looks most suspicious.  Tentatively flagging as regression from that.

ah, and that's already got a version of this (bug 673315) marked as a regression.

Duping.
