I've changed the topic header - but just to comment here, this is a long 
standing and inconsistant problem I've noticed in the linux environment 
gambas.

I has has happened more to more when I do ctrl C or use a menu with a copy 
option, then switch immediately to gambas and do a Ctrl V or visa-versa.

On the occasions it dosn't work, either nothing pastes, or what pastes was 
from some previous copy.

Can't reproduce it  not common - but just repeating that it does exist. My two 
linux distro's I've experienced this in as ARCH and KUbuntu.
