AFAICT, when you highlight text with the mouse/touchpad, you can "copy"
it only with the middle button (or both buttons on a two button
mouse/touchpad).  This is *not* the same as COPY/PASTE, but a similar
functionality.  You lose the ability to copy the highlighted text as
soon as the highlight goes away (presumably by a click somewhere else).
 It is a function of X11.

It still works for me in Fedora 12.  What version are you running?
