I just learned a bit about this recently. The standard behavior for Linux is to have two different “clipboards” (which are called selections), PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD. CLIPBOARD is set via ctrl+c whereas PRIMARY is set via your selection. This is how programs like Firefox and Chrome work also on Linux.

It sounds as if you are asking for Sublime Text to not set the PRIMARY selection when setting text. I don’t think that is currently possible.

SOLVED

thank you!
in Debian (and others linux) there are a packages to manage clipboards.
In my case this one is Cliplt 1.4.2, standart on LXDE. In settings you can disabe/anable PRIMARY or CLIPBOARD.

I turned off “use buffer on selection” and problem have gone.

Thank you!
