GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 315225
[Copy|Cut] Named clobber the global clipboard.

Copy Named or Cut Named write the copied area both to the named buffer and the global buffer. This is roughly the opposite of what I expected, though I'm not sure whether it is actually a bug.
I tend to agree with you on this one. The code clearly does exactly what you report it to do, but I think it's the wrong thing to do. Copy Named and Cut Named shouldn't alter the global buffer.
Fixed in CVS: 2005-09-05 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org> * app/core/gimp-edit.c: don't let named cut/copy affect the global buffer. Fixes bug #315225. Also make "Global Buffer" translatable.
