Just to be sure: What exactly do you refer to as clipboard here? In X11 we have PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD, in Windows we have only one Clipboard. > You can even paste it in Windows (but strangely, not in Linux where the c= lipboard seems empty).

I have changed/fixed the clipboard code in NX some months ago. Does downgrading to nx-libs 3.5.0.27 change the behaviour? Maybe I broke something... Also, do you have any clipboard manager running in the MATE session? And it would help to know if this happens for other desktops, too. Uli
