I agree, this caused me problems during the final phases of my last
board - I wanted to leave the attribute names alone but wipe out the
values for part numbers that I knew were wrong, so I could replace
them later.  Sometimes, I wanted to wipe them out so I could replace
them *immediately* but as soon as the dialog lost focus (so I could
copy text from elsewhere) it tried to "close" the attribute and
complained.  Cut and paste is horribly non-intuitive in gschem and
gattrib.  Specifically:

* Clicking on a cell in gattrib should not do a "copy"

* Moving the focus away from a value field in gschem's attribute
  editor should not attempt to save the attribute
