Okay, let's try and find out what's going on. First, your distro and
version of mono being used. Second, have you tried pasting into
something desktop agnostic (such as OpenOffice.org).

You might be better off using a get/set system here as well and see if
that does anything.

If all else fails, please report it to BZ with a small test case...

TTFN
