I am running openSUSE Leap 42.1 using Gnome with pgadmin 1.23 dev and I
don't see this behaviour.
Are you guys running a clipboard manager? I use gpaste which cooperates
with d-bus, and Gnome puts a nice little icon at top right of my screen
alongside all the other status icons, so I can very quickly check the
list of copied items to see if the copy was successful. I hardly ever do
that though, pasting seems to give me what I need every time, and if I
need something from the history list it is just a click or two away.
