Package: eterm Version: 0.9.5-2 Severity: normal
Since recent upgrades (about 3 weeks) to more recent libc (I believe that's the cause), Eterm cut and paste is not working right. xterm seems OK (but I use it hardly at all so I cannot say for sure .. just a few experiments seem to say it is OK, but maybe that's luck). It used to be that one could click with the left mouse button to grab a piece of text. Double click grabbed some words, triple click grabbed the whole line. The grabbed area stayed highlighted. One used to be able to paste the grabbed text with a middle mouse button click. Using shift somewhere in there also used to work, and one could release the shift key, then use shift key again without breaking the copy paste sequence. Now, left click alone briefly highlights the text, but the highlighted area disappears at once. Middle button does not paste the (briefly) highlighted text. It looks as though it never went in the buffer. The last successful grab is pasted instead. The same is true of the paste after the unsuccessful grab in whatever window it is tried, eterm or xterm. But left click still works as usual to grab text in an xterm. Pressing shift before making the grab with the left mouse button and keeping shift pressed makes the grab "work". But one cannot release the shift at any point before the paste (with shift syill held) without losing the grab! It's very frustrating .. one can't shift windows like that with the grab buffer held, because shift and other mouse clicks have special effects in other windows and backgrounds. Please check out what is going on .. and let me have a working Eterm again!
