Created attachment 242143 Screencast of bug.
Since 3.2.x and up until 3.8.x I have had trouble copy/pasting text properly in Empathy IRC windows but had trouble reproducing it. Several long chat messages has been lost because of a Ctrl+C -> Delete habit I have.
Found out today why I sometimes cannot copy/paste from the chat input field in Empathy. The copy function only breaks after you have copied text from the chatroom itself.
Steps to reproduce: -> Join a IRC chatroom -> Write a message -> Copy that message and check if you can paste it -> Write a new message -> Use Ctrl+A to highlight the new message and Ctrl+C to copy it. -> Attempt to paste the new message by pressing Ctrl+V
You should see that the new message is not pasted. I also attached a screencast to demonstrate.
Copying the Topic line also breaks this way. I believe this has a connection to 672895. Oddly enough, right-clicking and choosing 'Copy' works fine in both cases, while Ctrl+C remains broken for the rest of the session.
