Right, that's correct. I did the following: 1. In a terminal window, I started an editor in insert mode. 2. In the message you sent me as I was reading it, I selected some text and hit CTRL-C. 3. In the terminal window, I did both EDIT->PASTE and CTRL-V, and there was nothing there. I had also tried the same thing with entering data into a Mozilla window, with the same results. > > cheers > -- > Rodrigo Moya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -- ------ +-------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | Dan O'Reilly | "There are 10 types of people in this | | Principal Engineer | world: those who understand binary | | Process Software | and those who don't." | | http://www.process.com | | +-------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
