For the past week or so, my first ctrl-v often does nothing.  So I ctrl-v again and this one does the expected paste.  I haven't filed a bug because I suspect this problem is not Leo-Editor's but Ubuntu 11.10, or the Fluxbox window manager that I use, or the Clipman 1.1.3 (clipboard manager) that I use.  I also don't know how to reproduce it, even though it often occurs.

Has anyone else been seeing similar problems?

I use Ubuntu 11.04 and have noticed some problems with Ctrl+... shortcuts in some applications. If I press left Alt and then Ctrl, and then release Alt, but still holding Ctrl down, then press key for Ctrl+ combination ( Ctrl+z, Ctrl+v, ...), shortcut is executed but when I try to press just Ctrl and z I get same as pressing just z. I haven't noticed that behavior with Leo though.

Seeking for the cause of this kind of problem I found that some of applets in panels can cause very strange behavior so try to disable some of them. One that is quite disturbing is indicator applet that integrate main menu of active application in top panel. It is causing a nasty bug that was discussed recently in other thread.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm afraid making progress will take some
luck.
