Copy (CRTL+C) fails recurrently in first time it is used

I have a weird problem I don't know how to solve or even to debug.



I copy (in general, no specific application) with CTRL + C and paste with CTRL + V.



I would say that 70% of the times I use CTRL + C the copy fails and, when I paste with CTRL + V, I'll paste the content that was already copied on the clipboard.



If I hit CTRL + C like three or four times, the content will be copied but, on the first time, it will almost certainly fail.



Can somebody, please, give me any ideas on how to solve this?

I found out this was related to the focus policy.



Since I had mouse focus policy configured, sometimes CTRL + C would not copy since the window I was trying to copy from did not have focus.



I changed the focus policy to follow click instead of mouse, and the problem seems to be solved.

            Quarter-circle Tiles

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

            build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

            Image
            0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton? That's tricky. formal-languages automata context-free-grammar share | cite | improve this question edited Nov 29 '18 at 14:20 joee
