Copy & paste doesn't work if copied text closed first

If I close an app where I've coppied something from, e.g. notepad or browser and I want to paste it, it doesn't work. I have to have the app open to copy a text over. Is that an intentional behaviour? Because it's a bit inconvenient.

That is standard behaviour with Linux, all Xorg desktops.

However, you can install a clipboard manager, that keeps a history.
There is Glipper-lite and parcellite in the repo.
Parcellite is builtin, in the Desktop menu category.

Thanks! How to make it to run at startup? I assume I shall put something (Windows' shortcut equivalent?) into the /root/Startup/ folder, right?

Run it from the menu, it will offer to start automatically in the future.
