NonStaticI'm new to Ubuntu 18.04. When I use terminal or other software, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, etc. work fine for me.

Same thing happens when I use ...

I get those too but also with a "no thanks" option :=)

I need one more reopen vote from a reviewer to reopen this question: askubuntu.com/questions/1063647/… which was closed as being unclear, but it has been substantially improved by editing and it also has an accepted answer.
