The only major issues that I'm aware of are coping and pasting OLE embedded objects. That should be taken care of when Rob is finished his COM work.
IMO 633, 2382 and 5061 are not really copy and paste bugs. They are caused by problems translating from windows data formats to linux data formats and vice versa.
As far as I know, all "complex" objects in the windows clipboard, such as formatted text, images etc. is stored as rtf-object. BTW: There is also a bug #3611 which was marked as dublicate of #633 but its not the exact reason.
I recognized that the copy and paste bug #3611 works on some systems. I may have to do with some X11 library/KDE Lib versions. etc. Is there a kind of WINEDEBUG option to track what happens when copy/paste in application? On the other side I saw a lot of applications by which the copy/paste does not work. It seems to be a much bigger issue than assumed.

There may be an odd bug here and there but copy and paste should be working just fine between most applications. At least the X11 driver code should be working correctly.

3486 is an edit control bug and not a general copy and paste bug.
4523 looks like an OLE bug. Have you tried with native ole32? This bug also suffers from the fact that we don't get notifications when an X app changes its selection. The XFixes extension should help. I've starting looking into this but just haven't found the time to finish it.

Copy-paste didn't work between wine and Gnome, but everything else was without a hitch!
Doh! What exactly failed? Could you give me the exact steps to reproduce the problem?
Yes, please do! Let's get a bug filed about this.
There are quite a few copy and paste bugs in Wine, e.g. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2382 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3486 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4523 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5061
I wonder if just getting copy and paste working well would be a sufficient summer of code project! Too bad submissions are closed. Ah, well, next year :-)
