This only works for the Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V way. If you select a text and try to paste using the middle mouse button it only works when the source app is open.
I don't think that's a regression, though is it? Hasn't it always been that way?
Yeah has always been the case.
Right, so AFAICT, nothing's different for F11 - ctrl-c/ctrl-v style pasting works after the app closes (as long as it's sufficiently GNOME-y), and highlight/middle-click style never has.
if ctrl-c / ctrl-v style pasting has stopped working for you in a circumstance where it worked in f10, I think that would be considered a bug worth reporting with sufficient info to identify the problem.
Middle mouse button paste has worked for me since F7 or so under Gnome with or without the "source" window being open. It even works under Synergy (cut from one machine, paste in another). If it's not so in F11, then yeah, I'd say it's broken.
