I am not sure how they all interact, but one thing that worked always for me 
and in all circumstances was to select with the mouse the text I want to 
copy, then go where I need it pasted and just press the middle mouse button. 
If you have a mouse with only 2 buttons, I think it can be emulated by 
pressing at the same time the 2 buttons.
