Package: general Severity: normal This report covers problems with multiple cut and paste buffers due to multiple clipboards being used in X11 applications.
Problems include: being unable to paste data copied from an X11 application into a console mode application. Inconsistent and confusing copy and paste operations using the mouse, due to menu copy operations not matching the mouse selections and clicks. (The middle button paste does not match the Menu: Edit, Paste in program menus. Likewise the dragover copy, does not match the Menu: Edit, Paste in program menus). Copying information from a KDE application (such as konqueror), does not allow a corresponding paste into an non-KDE application (neither the dragover and click copy mechanism, nor the Menu: Edit, Copy, Menu: Edit, Paste facilities enable the data to be copied). (I am not sure whether this is window manager specific, but it is certainly a problem if I am using icewm.) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (60, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i386) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-486 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
