Ubuntu 14.04

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Highlight some text with the mouse in Steam client.
  2. (optional) Unselect text by left-clicking somewhere else in the Steam client window.
  3. Switch to (for example) Firefox window.
  4. Middle click on some TextInput field.
    Expected result: words that were selected in Steam client are pasted into that TextInput field.
    Actual result: nothing happens or some previously memorized text is pasted.

And the same problem when doing opposite transfer: Firefox -> Steam client. (nothing can be pasted into Steam client that way)

x86 Ubuntu 14.10 (tested also on Ubuntu from 13.04 to current).
Affects me too.
Never worked as expected (middle-click paste) neither on Stable nor
Beta.
