Comment (by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:7 msieczka]:
 > On Debian testing, amd64, python-wxgtk 2.8.8.1 after pressing 'Copy'
 button there is also nothing in the clipboard that could be pasted into
 e.g. a terminal with "right click > paste", but I can paste with middle
 mouse button (both develbranch6 and trunk).

 That's due to the use of {{{wx.TheClipboard.UsePrimarySelection(True)}}}
 in {{{mainFrame.OnCopy()}}}.
 source:/grass/trunk/gui/wxpython/gui_modules/menuform.py at 32365#L817

 This causes the data to be copied to the primary selection rather than the
 clipboard. An explicit "copy" operation should use the clipboard (this is
 how Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Insert normally behave); the primary selection is for
 the selection.
