This claim surprised me as I have been successfully
copy&pasting
in both Mozilla and Konqueror for ages.
See

(and various duplicates thereof)
To check it, I just tried some 52kB article, and I can
copy&paste it
from Konq to Moz and from Moz to Konq without any problems.
The behavior is very unpredictable and depends on a number of
circumstances (one of which seems to be line length). It happens more
with some applications (gvim->Mozilla/Konq, for example) than with
others. It sometimes happens with PRIMARY, and sometimes with CLIPBOARD,
sometimes with both. I really have no time to document all the instances
where I get a nice result like "S" instead of the text I supposedly
pasted, and where I get nothing at all. Suffice it to say that the
clipboard under Linux is horribly broken in general, and anyone who says
otherwise hasn't used it much.

Erik
