New issue 23223 by chris.frostnet.net: upon middle click chrome empties clipboard from xclip but does not insert the text http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23223 Chrome Version : 4.0.213.1-r27053 OS + version : Ubuntu 8.04 (kernel 2.6.27.31) CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 32-bit window manager : kwin URLs (if applicable) : n/a Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): browser inserts clipboard contents into input box and removes from the clipboard Behavior in Chrome for Windows (optional): n/a What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. echo hi | xclip -l 1 -verbose 2. middle click in a chrome text box to paste (e.g., the omnibar or the google.com search box) What is the expected result? 1. the string "hi" is inserted into the input box 2. xclip exits and the clipboard is cleared What happens instead? Only step 2. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot and backtrace if possible. "echo hi | xclip -l 3 -verbose" and a middle click into the omnibar results in chrome consuming all three clipboard events and inserting the text once. "echo hi | xclip -l 4 -verbose" and a middle click into the google.come earch box results in chrome consuming all four clipboard events and inserting the text once. A smaller -l value for either scenario results in only consumed clipboards; no text is pasted. "echo hi | xclip" and a middle click into a chrome input box works as expected (the text is inserted). Note that in this scenario "hi" remains in the clipboard after a paste; this is why this scenario works. Selecting text with the mouse and then middle clicking has the same effect. This behavior started within the past few chrome for linux releases. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
