#XCLIPBOARD WINDOWS#
So while in Windows you can highlight some text in window A without losing the previous highlight in window B, you can't do that in X11.) (Because the primary selection is meant to directly reflect currently highlighted text, most X11 apps will actually remove the highlight when something else is put into primary. For mice or touchpads with only two buttons, pressing both at once emulates the middle button.) There is neither a menu item nor a standard keyboard shortcut for pasting from primary. (For mice with a scroll wheel, the wheel is also the middle button.
You paste from primary selection by middle-clicking the mouse. (Normally the primary selection is only used for text, not images or other data types.) In contrast, the primary selection will automatically hold whatever text you have selected last. If they behave differently, I would call that a Gedit bug.) (The right-click menu should have operations identical to the Edit menu, both accessing the same clipboard. In other words, it's literally your standard clipboard. You copy data into the 'CLIPBOARD' selection using Ctrl C or "Edit>Copy" and paste from it with Ctrl+V or "Edit>Paste".
The clipboard selection is used for explicit "Cut", "Copy", and "Paste" operations, exactly like in other systems. Cut buffers are not selections they're a different and obsolete mechanism) Clipboard & Primary (Primary and secondary are the other two selections. In X11 terminology, there are many selections, but only one of them is called the clipboard.
