Package: vim-gtk Version: 1:7.1.314-3+lenny2 Severity: normal
vim fails when trying to receive incremental clipboard selection transfers. Specifically large 300KB selection transfers fail from vim to vim, but work from vim to kword. In vim select some text V"+ motion y and try to paste in another vim session "+p if the selection size was small it uses one transfer and succeed, if it is large, like 300KB worth, the clipboard owner will initiate an incremental selection transfer, but the requestor will fail, and try at least four times before giving up. It will then fall back to reading the CUT_BUFFER0 and if the desired text happens to be there it will appear to work, or if it is some other random text it can be really confusing what happened. vim seems to populate CUT_BUFFER0 on exit. Use xprop -root -remove CUT_BUFFER0 to make sure the cut buffer is empty. If it is empty vim will report, E353: Nothing in register + and no transfer takes place. I also checked vim-gtk_7.2.148-2_i386.deb and it has the same problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-rc3 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages vim-gtk depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.47-2 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgpm2 1.20.4-3.1 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1~lenny1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libperl5.10 5.10.0-19 Shared Perl library ii libruby1.8 1.8.7.72-3 Libraries necessary to run Ruby 1. ii libselinux1 2.0.65-5 SELinux shared libraries ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii python2.5 2.5.2-15 An interactive high-level object-o ii tcl8.4 8.4.19-2 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8 ii vim-common 1:7.1.314-3+lenny2 Vi IMproved - Common files ii vim-gui-common 1:7.1.314-3+lenny2 Vi IMproved - Common GUI files ii vim-runtime 1:7.1.314-3+lenny2 Vi IMproved - Runtime files vim-gtk recommends no packages.
