No problem. I can deal with it as long as you are aware of the issue.
Okay. I think it needs to be fixed eventually so that the problem is not repeatedly reported.
On a different note, I have noticed that the X clipboard
will transfer to
windows as long as the data is highlighted. Once the data
is unhighlighted
(i.e. typing "clear") the text is still in the X buffer
(middle button or
shift insert pastes correctly), but the windows clipboard is empty.
That is an interesting point that I had thought of, but didn't really want to think hard about :) I spent about 12 hours coding this up... everytime I thought I had it, I realized that more basic changes were needed in the clipboard code. Now I have it working, I believe.
It seems to work now. Thanks.
No problem.
I have made your request work only for the PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD selections. It won't matter if the X client still has data in the SECONDARY selection, because we do not monitor that selection. So, don't complain if you can still paste in one or two X apps but not in Win32 :)
I try not to COMPLAIN about anything. :-) Seriously, though - I do realize how much time and energy are put into this project by the few core people and though I will report issues I see or ask questions, I will never complain about what is or is not done. You guys do too much work to deserve that. One of these days, I will make enough time to make some contributions of my own - and then I MIGHT have a right to complain a little. You guys have done a wonderful job, and as many have said before, we appreciate your work. Thank you.
Sorry. My "complain" should be read as more of a "I am already aware of this problem, so it doesn't have to be mentiond" and it was really written for other readers, not for you. I don't think you are complaining :) It is just that if others see this in the future, I don't want them saying "me too" if they notice this problem.
