@LimCore I don't think you understand the meaning of the definitions "band aid" and "work around". A "band aid" or "work around" means it's not properly fixed or only partially implemented. The implementation is not expandable. It actually creates more work in the end due to it's bad design.
Something that does not fix a problem but offers an alternative method to avoid it; usually a temporary solution to a software bug (from http://www.wordwebonline.com/en/WORKAROUND). Now the work around in this case only handles text and users have to install manually. I don't want to have to remember to install something to get a working clipboard. It also only works on gnome. For KDE, you gotta use klipper. So now we got 2 programs that are trying to do the same thing, therefore wasting development time because you gotta do it twice. And if there is another DE created, then we gotta develop an application like parcellite for that as well, again wasting developer time. This is why fixing it at the level it was created at is so important. Where can you handle audio and video for instance? Files? All have to be re-implemented each time if it is not fixed at the level it was created at, which is now Xorg. Anyone having to manage a software development project as well knows how important it is to first design something before you do any programming for it. -- MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/11334 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
