On X11, text is basically copied once it's selected. And of course you're not hooking the menubar Edit > Copy way of copying. There's probably no way to make this consistently work for every kind of copying text. :(

I've seen websites preventing you from selecting any text at all. I usually select the text I'm reading as a sort of mark, so that really annoyed me.
