Ubuntu behaves as if I have two clipboards
My Ctrl+V produces a different result that RightClick+Paste
I can't reproduce this, it happens randomly, so I can't specify the circumstances just yet. I will as soon as I can make it happen all the time.
Please advise!

Copy something, highlight something else, then try both paste methods.

Just tried this and got the exact same issue. Must be an Ubuntu bug.

X actually has three clipboards. Highlighting text moves it into one clipboard (PRIMARY), then performing a copy operation copies it to a second (CLIPBOARD) (the third [SECONDARY] is almost never used). The two paste methods are using different clipboards, which is causing confusion on your part.
