Putty copy/paste not working in Red Hat outside Putty window

Question

When using Windows, every time I use putty to access a Linux/Unix box, selecting something on the screen or CTRL+INS, it will copy what is selected and outside the Putty window, if I CTRL+V it paste whatever I used in the copy process.

For some reason, when using Red Hat, it is not working like that. What I copy/paste inside the Putty screen is copied/pasted normally inside Putty, but if I try to paste it outside the Putty window, it just doesn't work. It paste what I copied in the Red Hat screen and not in the putty screen.

Anyone knows how to solve that?

A.6.6 How do I copy and paste between PuTTY and other Windows applications?

Copy and paste works similarly to the X Window System. You use the left mouse button to select text in the PuTTY window. The act of selection automatically copies the text to the clipboard: there is no need to press Ctrl-Ins or Ctrl-C or anything else. In fact, pressing Ctrl-C will send a Ctrl-C character to the other end of your connection (just like it does the rest of the time), which may have unpleasant effects. The only thing you need to do, to copy text to the clipboard, is to select it.
