I think with help from Max and Jeroen I found out the reason: I am slow in pressing the w key after having pressed esc, and the keyboard is sending several times the esc key to TeXmacs.

I fixed this by mapping alt-w to copy (I find the default keyboard shortcut for the emacs look and feel awkward):

;; Map alt-w to copy in emacs look and feel
(kbd-map
  (:profile emacs)
  ("A-w" (kbd-copy)))

in my-init-texmacs.scm

I do not know if this is also why the other user cannot copy, in case you are curious you can check if anything is posted at http://forum.texmacs.cn/t/problem-with-copy-and-paste-in-math-formulas/389

Dear all,

it happened to me several times that copying did not work when using Emacs look and feel in Ubuntu. It is intermittent, I do not know how to replicate the malfunctioning. Today in the forum someone raised the same issue, although referring to formulae only (http://forum.texmacs.cn/t/problem-with-copy-and-paste-in-math-formulas/389).

Does anyone know anything about this?

Besides this, in my layout meta is the esc key, so that meta-w for Copy is esc-w. This is awkward, I would like to have alt-w. Does anyone know if this is caused by an Ubuntu keyboard setting or if the reason is another? Of course I can remap keys :-)
