rest-client sometimes does not respect the clipboard (Ctrl+C) contents on X windows

[jwdevel]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Put some text in the clipboard via "echo foo | xset -b"
2. Try to paste (Ctrl+V) into rest-client, anywhere (URL, body text, etc)

Expected behavior:

The text "foo" is pasted

Actual behavior:

Nothing is pasted.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

3.4.2, Fedora 21.

Please provide any additional information below.

Interestingly, if I do a "Ctrl+C" to copy some text in firefox, then rest-client does paste it properly. So you might thing there is something wrong with "xset".

However, if I do the above command ("echo foo | xset -b"), I can successfully paste that text into firefox or other applications.

So this makes me think rest-client is doing something wrong...
