I just noticed the same problem using gattrib from cygwin on Windows XP. It seems to me that gattrib is emptying the paste buffer. I can alt-tab to my rxvt bash shell, highlight something (like a footprint file name), alt-tab back to gattrib, click in the cell I want to change, then shift-insert (to paste). However if I then click into another cell shift-insert does not paste, almost like the paste buffer was cleared. Repeating the copy gain works... once. BTW, I copy-n-paste between rxvt and other X11 apps (including gschem and pcb) with no issues.

I've only ever been able to paste using the middle mouse button. (What's in the OSX clipboard gets pasted that way.) I have no idea how one would get the OSX clipboard into the X11 clipboard so you could paste something more complex. -- Timothy Normand Miller http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~millerti Open Graphics Project _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
