Yes, it's still a problem. Here's the procedure:
1. Run xterm (remotely connected, under X11)
Does it matter that the text is in a remote window? In other words,
can you do this with a local xterm?
As a data point, works both ways here (22 machines)
2. Display text containing a URL of interest in the xterm session
3. Select the URL (using the mouse)
4. Using the menu, select Edit->Copy
5. Command-Tab to Safari ... now take your time
How much time? I waited 30, 60, and 90 minutes.
(has the selection disappeared yet?)
6. Command-N to open a new Safari window
(yes, the selection has invariably gone by now)
7. Paste doesn't work: go back to step 3 and redo
How do you paste? Command-V?
It's rather odd: after being selected and copied the first time, the
selection seems to stay on the clipboard for only a second or so; if I
do this a second time, generally it hangs around a little longer, long
enough to be pasted.
I report this with problem ID 3478623 back in November: I see its
status is now Closed/Duplicate.
This was marked as a duplicate of the bug that was fixed in 10.3.4. I
can't duplicate your steps.
Cheers.
