--- Comment #1 from Pau Coma Ramirez <paucoma at gmail.com> ---
This is a Strange Bug, which I am experiencing too, although only when launched
via the ubuntu launcher. I have documented my Behavior in Bug 50598. In my case
launching the program directly from a terminal window normally works, its only
when I use the launcher.

I have found that the following seems to have effect even when launching via
the ubuntu launcher(i.e. .desktop shortcut). but I am not sure about its
persistance.

Basically open a terminal window and within your defined prefix of wine for
which you run notepad edit/add the registry key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]
"UsePrimarySelection"="1"

The following command should do the trick

```
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine reg add "HKLM\Software\Wine\X11 Driver" /v
UsePrimarySelection /t REG_SZ /d 1
```

Note: I am assuming that ~/.wine32 is the wine prefix your notepad++ runs in.

More documentation on that registry edit "hack"
[here](https://askubuntu.com/a/1312004/258256)
Although in my case it worked with HKLM, others have suggested HKCU.
So, you may also want to add 
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]
"UsePrimarySelection"="1"
