Summary: Broken gpbs when doing pb operations between GS and X
Original Submission: 1. It is not possible to copy from GNUstep and paste in X app strings which contain non latin-1 characters.
Did you really copy a region you selected with a GNUstep app before trying to paste
it on an X app? Only specifying a selected region (i.e., making the background gray)
is not sufficient for paste; before trying it, you need to explicitly invoke the GNUstep
app's 'copy' once after you specify a selected region. Please make sure the GNUstep's
copy and paste operation differs from that of ordinary X apps. You can't do copy and
paste even for latin-1 characters unless you do copy before paste.
2. It is not possible to copy from X and paste in GNUstep strings longer than 1024 characters.
It seems that this is due not to gpbs, but to the implementation of NSSerializer.
In the method + (NSData*) serializePropertyList: (id)propertyList, we have
d = [NSMutableData dataWithCapacity: 1024];
I hope the limitation will be lifted once someone changes the magic number 1024,
though I'm not sure if it is possible.
3. GNUstep apps used to freeze for a while (waiting for X selection) when pasting from X apps.
Copy and paste is a costly operation.
4. Sometimes it works, after i do lots of various cut&pastes.
I feel the comment on 1 also applies here.
| I'm using CVS from 6 Aug 2003 and I am experiencing this only for short time.
Probably, you got accustomed to the GNUstep's copy and paste operation...
