In most X11 apps I can select some text and then paste it somewhere else with a middle-click, or dump it to stdout with the command 'xclip -o'. That doesn't work for highligted text in gtk-3 apps (meld, evince, audacious, etc.). After selecting text in a gtk-3 app, if I middle-click in a terminal window it does nothing and 'xclip -o' just hangs. Selecting text elsewhere will deselect the text in the gtk-3 app, so gtk-3 isn't _completely_ ignoring X11 clipboards/buffers.
Any ideas why gtk-3 copy/paste is broken and how to fix it? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! at BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI- gmail.com
