That is very strange. Although with Ubuntu 9.10, I think your gschem
version is likely to be 1.4.3 (checked on packages.ubuntu.com), and that
isn't a supported version any more.

This said, I'm still interested to know why the problem you've seen is
occurring, as the 1.4.x buffer code is still used in the 1.6.x series.

gschem 1.6.x now uses the clipboard for copy-paste - meaning you can now
transfer schematic elements between gschem windows from different gschem
processes. It also means that "paste" won't work once you've copied
something different somewhere else, but I don't think this is what
you're seeing.


Can you detail some exact steps to reproduce the issue, or is it more
random?
