I was just reading you message.
Yes that strange behaviour I found also. SuSE9.2
For some reason the cut/past clipboard in the editor does not
work always 100% correct.
At my workplace I have the same SuSE installed as at home.
Only the hardware is different.
The problem is for me as I can see a bit hardware dependend.
At home it occurs also but less frequently.

Good for you it look to be solved.
I'm not 100% convinced it is.

PS
The mark/cut/paste problems started for me after change 
from gb.qt.GambasEditor to gb.qt.Ext.Editor (.29 / .30)
And it looks be less after .33 and up.
