Unfortunately, this is the behavior of all Linux/X11 applications.  If
you copy something in X11 apps, it will only stick around until you
close the window you copied it from, then it will go away.  This is
just about the most annoying thing in Linux for me personally, and
there are a couple of apps you can use to get around it, for example
xclipboard.
