[Bug 11334] Re: MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste
In LibreOffice Bugzilla #48783, TenLeftFingers (tenleftfingers) wrote on 2012-09-30: "However on MacOS 10.8 (Mountain Lion) this issue is not reproducible. The clipboard contents are preserved on exit." Of course, because OS X is a proper operating system with a clipboard that always, because of the way it's implemented in the operating system itself. It has been said many times: A clipboard should be a feature of the operating system itself and applications shouldn't have to write code to make copy/paste work. Write an application for Windows, OS X or even iOS and copy/paste just works. There's no need for the developers to implement this feature to make copy/paste work. That's why Linux is such a useless operating system. In LibreOffice Bugzilla #48783, L-lunak-w (l-lunak-w) wrote on 2014-04-25: "This is a consequence of the X11 clipboard design and not LibreOffice specific. As such, there's not much LibreOffice itself can do about this on its own." You shouldn't even do something. Just don't fix it. It's absolutely ridiculous all applications have to be "fixed" by its developers. I surrounded "fixed" by quotation marks, because of course the applications are not broken at all. It's the operating system itself that's broken and they refuse to fix their crappy operating system and expect all developers to write code to make copy/paste work on their piece of shit called Linux. I'd say they can go fuck themselves. Just spend your time on Windows and OS X. Just don't give a single shit about Linux, just like 99,5% of the world doesn't give a shit about Linux. It's a useless piece of crap that doesn't even deserve developers who spend time writing software for it.

[Bug 11334] Re: MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste
Slated, you're just another open source idiot who thinks open source programmers do everything the right way. In your opinion Linux does everything right and other operating systems are designed in a very bad and unsecure way. Those open source idiots do everything they can to defend Linux and open source. Even for the biggest and most stupid bugs they try to find a reason why it isn't a bug, but instead a great design feature of those open source programmers and of course the way it's implemented in Linux is way better than the way it's implemented in other operating systems. Please, slated, use your brains. Everyone can see the Linux way of implementing copy / paste is the most stupid design error ever made in an operating system. Copy / paste has to be implemented in the core of every operating sysrtem! It's completely ridiculous to expect developers of every single application to implement support for the Linux way of copy / paste. A developer of an application shouldn't have to worry about implementing copy / paste into his application. This support has to be there out of the box. The operating system itself should handle this. If Linux doesn't get core functionality like copy / paste done right, it'll never get more than 1% of market share. Every year you hear it's going to be the year of Linux on the desktop, but Linux has been hugging the 1% of market share for years now. The market share isn't growing and if Linux doesn't get these core features of an operating sytem implemented the right way, its market share will never exceed 1%. In the year 2053 Linux will still have a market share of 0.94% or something like that. Well, in my opinion that's already 0.94% too much market share. An operating system which sticks to ideas from the 1980's and is developed by people who think like slated just doesn't deserve any market share at all. People, just use a proper operating system. Use Mac OS X. Every Linux distribution just sucks. There's pyrates again, the only Launchpad member who uses his brains. The only person here on Launchpad who really knows what he's talking about. Again, you've written a really good comment and I couldn't agree more. Kiki, to have this bug fixed like it needs to be fixed, there have to be made changes to Xorg. Fixing this bug for every single just isn't the right way to fix this bug. Actually it wouldn't even be a bug fix, but just a workaround to have those applications work without actually fixing the bug itself. The workaround of implementing copy / paste in every application is completely ridiculous. There are thousands of applications which can be installed in Ubuntu. You can't implement this functionality in all of those applications. After all those years copy / paste has only been implemented in a couple of applications. There are thousands of applications left to be fixed. Besides those existing applications, there's the problem of new applications being released every year. Almost every new application which is released doesn't have copy / paste implemented. After a new application has been released users have to be complaining for years to have copy / paste implemented. Firefox is one of the most used applications and it has taken years before copy / paste was finally implemented (actually we are still waiting, because Firefox 4 stable still hasn't been released). OpenOffice.org is also used a lot on Linux, but it still hasn't copy / paste implemented after all those years! How long do you think it'll take to implement copy / paste in every application? That's just completely impossible. You can't fix this bug by implementing copy / paste in every application.

"Are you using gnome or any other OS software at all?" Yes, I've been using Gnome / Ubuntu for three years now. In those years I've experienced a lot of bugs and I haven't seen any of all those bugs being fixed. A lot of those bugs are really serious bugs (contents of clipboard being lost after closing the source application, anyone?) and / or bugs which were reported almost TEN YEARS ago, but still there isn't any progress. That's just completely ridiculous. Then why do I use Gnome / Ubuntu? I hate Microsoft and don't want to support them in any way, so that's why I don't use Windows. The most common alternatives are Mac OS X and Linux. For Mac OS X you have to buy a Mac, so I can't run it on the PC I already own. That's why I installed Linux.

@wribeiro: They won't. That's why open source software sucks. Someone or some people start a project and then release something which is full of bugs and then they have some great ideas they want to work on and start developing those great features, but they don't like to fix bugs and because it's open source the developer(s) just say: "It's open source, so fix it yourself if it's bothers you." I hate that mentality of open source developers. They only care about the features they want to see implemented, but they really don't care about fixing bugs, even if those bugs still aren't fixed after ten years. The bugs don't bother them, so they just don't fix them. If you want them to be fixed, then you'll have to do it yourself. Do they really think everyone has programming skills?

[Bug 563226] Re: Nautilus Ctrl+Q to close all windows instead of Ctrl+Shift+W
The developers just copied the shortcuts from Mac OS X, replacing Command with Control. In Mac OS X Command + Q quits an application and Command W closes a window. In Mac OS X this is logical, because clicking the red dot (the close button) only closes the window while the application itself stays active. So, closing Firefox by clicking the close button only closes the window. The application itself keeps running. Clicking the close button is the same as using the keyboard combination Command + W. To completely quit Firefox, you need to go to the menu bar, click on "Firefox" and then choose "Quit" or you can use Command + Q. Ubuntu works completely different. Closing Firefox by clicking the close button completely quits firefox (unless you've got more than one open window). After clicking the close button the Firefox process is completely terminated and there's no sign of any activity of Firefox in the window switcher. In Mac OS X it's completely different. After clicking the close button, you can see the Firefox process is still running, as there's a little dot underneath the Firefox icon in the Dock. If the user closes Nautilus by clicking the close button, there's no sign of any activity in the window switcher. For the user it doesn't matter if the process is still running. The user looks at the window switcher at the botom of the screen and sees no activity of Nautilus. So, for the user clicking the close button is the same as quiting the application. It's just like in Windows. The process explorer.exe is always running, but for the user there's no sign of this process being active (except when looking in the Task Manager). In Mac OS X this is completely different. In Mac OS X there's always a little dot underneath the Finder icon in the Dock. It's clear to the user this application is always running. When clicking on "Finder" in the menu bar, there's no option to Quit the Finder. It's logical for Finder not to use the keyboard shortcut Command + Q. Ubuntu isn't Mac OS X. In Ubuntu the default is to completely terminate an application, while in Mac OS X the default is to keep the application active. In Ubuntu there's ni sign for the user of Nautilus still being active, while on Mac OS X the Finder icon is ALWAYS in the Dock and ALWAYS has a little dot underneath the icon. That's why Nautilus shouldn't copy the shortcuts from Mac OS X. Nautilus should close using Control + Q, just like Firefox. -- Nautilus Ctrl+Q to close all windows instead of Ctrl+Shift+W https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563226 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 554887] Re: Inconsistent mouse over behavior on minimize/maximize/close buttons
In the first image the cursor isn't hovering above any of the buttons. In the second image the cursor is above the square. As you can see, the square is now somewhat darker compared to when the cursor wasn't hovering the button. In the third image the cursor is above the down arrow. Because the cursor is hovering this arrow, the arrow now looks more dark and the square looks grey again. But also look at the close button. Both the minimize button and the close button have a darker color than the first button. The square is grey, while both other buttons have the dark color. If you'd show me the third image and ask me the question: "Above which button is the cursor hovering?" I'd answer: "Above the square, because that button looks somewhat greyed out and the other two don't." In the fourth image the mouse is hovering above the close button. As you can see, the X now has a grey color, while in the above three images the X had the dark color. This button looks greyed out when the mouse is hovering it. This is exactly the opposite as the behavior of the other two buttons. The square and the down arrow are grey when the mouse isn't hovering the buttons, while the X has a dark color. When you place your cursor above the square or the down arrow their color change from grey to black, while the color of the X changes from black to grey. In the fourth image the square, the down arrow and the X appear to have the same color. It doesn't look like the cursor is hovering one of these butons, although is mouse pointer is above the X. ** Attachment added: "Buttons.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/43161502/Buttons.png -- Inconsistent mouse over behavior on minimize/maximize/close buttons https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 554887] [NEW] Inconsistent mouse over behavior on minimize/maximize/close buttons
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: light-themes I'm using the Radiance theme and I'm seeing the following inconsistency: The mouse over effect of the close button of an active window doesn't behave like the other window controls. By default the minimize, maximize and close buttons are somewhat blurred. When you place your cursor over one of these buttons, the buttons get unblurred. The close button of active windows behaves in the opposite way: The button is already unblurred by default, but it gets blurred when the cursor is over the button. The minimize and maximize buttons are white with a grey symbol (an arrow down, an arrow up or a squre) so they look somewhat blurred. Now hover the cursor over these buttons and you'll see the grey symbol turns into a black symbol. The close button is red with a black X and doesn't look blurred. Now hover your cursor over this button and you'll see the black X turns into a grey X and thus becomes blurred. This is the opposite behavior as the other two buttons. It's easy to see this bug when you hover your mouse over the button in the middle. If the cursor is over the button in the middle, you can see the left button is blurred, while the other two are unblurred. Now move your mouse a liitle bit to the right and and you'll see all three buttons are unblurred. This looks really strange. On inactive windows the all three buttons have the same effect.

How can they ever think showing the number of updates is less user friendly than NOT showing the number of updates??? Anyway, they decided to remove the number of available updates from the update manager in Ubuntu 9.04. Of course people where complaining. They wanted to see the number of updates.

I'm really happy the appearance of Ubuntu is more and more changing to the appearance of Mac OS X, instead of the appearance of Windows. Moving the buttons from the right side to the left side was a great decission and I really hope it won't be changed back, because of the negative comments. Those who are complaining just have to try it a few weeks and they'll be completely used to having the controls on the left side. Please Canonical, just release Ubuntu 10.04 and the future releases with the buttons on the left. -- [light-theme] please revert the order of the window controls back to "menu:minimize,maximize,close" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Josh Leverette wrote on 2010-02-22: "Let it be known that this day, February 21, is the day that sudo moved out of the Age of the Wizards and into the Age of Humans" Why should sudo be moved to the Age of Humans? It really doesn't belong there. As Matthew Paul Thomas mentioned it isn't time to change sudo, but to change those users who keep on posting difficult commands which a user doesn't undestand. Stop those forum members from saying: "Just enter 'sudo apt-get install app-name' in the Terminal." A user doesn't know what this command does. Just tell him where to click to install this application. Tell the forum administrators to edit or remove these kind of Terminal posts and replace them with proper GUI posts. Send a warning to people who keep on posting Terminal commands. That's what needs to happen. A user doesn't type a sudo command of oneself. They type those commands, because they were told to do so by members on the forum. Those people need to change. Just let them explain how to do some task using the GUI and only tell a user to use a Terminal command if the user asks for a command. -- Entering password in Terminal gives no visual feedback https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 11334] Re: MASTER Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste
Sandro Mani wrote on 2010-02-21: "The person(s) who originally implemented the clipboard may very well not be working on Xorg anymore, hence someone would have to read through the whole unfamiliar code and understand it, just like we" Then there's something fundamentally wrong at Xorg. It doesn't matter who wrote the code. If Xorg releases some software, they're responsible for maintaining the code and they're the ones who need to ensure everything is properly documented, so it's possible to make some changes to the existing code. Sandro Mani wrote on 2010-02-21: "the chances of success are considerably higher if the 52 people here would spend time researching instead of writing long, heated comments." Researching? That's work for developers, not for users. I've said it so many times, but how can Linux ever get a market share of more than 1% if they expect the users do everything themselves? Step 1: User encounters a bug; Step 2: User tells developers he found a bug and gives some information like when does he encounter this bug and what did he expect to happen; Step 3: Developer researches how to fix this bug; Step 4: Developer fixes bug; Step 5: Developer releases an update. Unfortuantely this doesn't work with open source software, because the developer says: "I don't give a fuck about that bugs. Fix it yourself." Users don't want to do research, they don't want to create Wiki-pages, they don't want to learn how to program. They just want to tell the developer about the bug he encountered and that's all. They encounter this bug, because of the errors of the developer, so he's the one who needs to fix the bugs he created himself. Why does the term "open source developer" mean "someone who who does what he wants to do, but doesn't listen to the comments of the users"? If you only implement features you like yourself and only fix bugs you care about, then don't release your software to the public, but keep it just for your own use. If you also want other people to use your software, then listen to them and implement the features they want and fix the bugs they want to be fixed. If you don't want to do this, then just dont release your software to the public, because users expect software to work. They just want to use the software, they don't want to help develop the software. LimCore wrote 4 hours ago: "Just install Percellite by default (MIR) and we are done! No need for too much talking, lets do it ;)" It has been said so many times: this is not a solution. These kind of applications are a bandaid solution to get some half baked clipboard implementation which crashes sometimes and doesn't even support all kinds of file types. Besides that, installing such application by default will cause the developers to think: "They've got their clipboard implementation, so there's no need to deliver a real fix." We need the clipboard to be implemented where it needs to be implemented. -- 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 Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Saïvann Carignan wrote 19 hours ago: "Developers regularly read bugs. When they can fix the bug, they assign the bug to themself and generally, it doesn't take a week before we get a update." That's the best joke I've ever heard. None of the bugs I've commented on has ever been fixed. Bugs which are several years old still got the status "New". This Bug reporting system is just a fail. You're only talking to other users who experience the samen bugs, but you never see a developer. Saïvann Carignan wrote 19 hours ago: "Users in this bug report complains that this bug exist since years and years and years, but if you look at freedesktop bug in xserver-xorg attached to this ubuntu bug report, it was reported 2009-11-21. Unless another older bug exist, apparently nobody complained at the right place since the beginning." They know about the crappy clipboard for years: http://www.x.org/wiki/XDC2007Notes#BartMassey.3ACutandPaste That's from the X Developer's Conference of 2007. Besides that: How can you expect the average user to know which developer develops each part of Ubuntu and where to find the particularly bug tracking system of that developer and to create an account at all of those bug tracking systems? For example: Someone encounters the bug of this bug report, he encounters a bug in Rhythmbox, he encounters a bug in OpenOffice.org and he encounters a bug in The GIMP. This means the user has to know the developers of X are the one to blame for the non-functional clipboard and he has to search for the bug tracking system of X. Then he has to create an account, he has to search if the bug is already reported and if the bug isn't already reported he has to report the bug for himself and has to answer difficult questions, like "Product". Look at the bug report at this location: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25220 Look at the drop down menu behind "Product". It goes from "accountsservice" to "Xtests", there are so many products in this list, I'm not even going to count all of them and all of those products've got weird names, like "xesam", "scim", "roadster", "libasyncns" or "exempi". How in the name of [actually I really don't care in the name of who] will the average user ever be able to find the product which belongs to the behavior of the clipboard? That's just impossible. Only a very small amount of users will be able to report such kind of bugs. The user's also got a problem with Rhythmbox, so there we go again: He has to know who's the developer of this application, search for the bug tracking system of this developer, create an account, serach if the bug already exists and report the bug. Then he also has to do this for the bug in OperOffice.org and the bug in The GIMP. You can't expect this from the average user. It's way too much hassle, it costs way too much time and it's way too difficult for the average user. It's way too technical. The average user doesn't understand this. The average user installs Ubuntu and for the user Ubuntu is the operating system, so if he encounters any bugs, Ubuntus Launchpad is the place to report these bugs. The user doesn't know (and really doesn't want to know) who developed which part of Ubuntu. The user doesn't see Ubuntu as a distribution consisting of different application, which are all developerd by someone else. They just see one operating system, just like Windows is developed by Microsoft and Mac OS X is developed by Apple. Now imagine Windows and Mac OS X worked in the same way as Ubuntu: A user of Windows encounters a bug in Windows Media Player, a bug in Internet Explorer, a bug in Windows Movie Maker and a bug in Microsofts Defragmentation Tool. All of those applications are developed by another team. Now imagine all of those teams got their own websites, their own bug tracking system and there was no communication between those teams. That's the Ubuntu situation. The user first has to find out who developed Windows Media Player. Then he has to search for the bug tracking system of those developers. He creates an account and searches if the bug's already been reported. He reports the bug and he has to answer a lot of difficult questions. When he's done reporting the bug, he has to find out who developed Internet Explorer and he has to find their bug tracking system. This is a completely different team, so they've got their own bug tracking system, so the user can't use the account he created to report the bug in Windows Media Player. So, he creates a news account, searches if the bug's already been reported and creates a new bug report. Then he has to do the same for the bugs he found in Windows Movie Maker and Microsofts Defragmentation Tool. This doesn't work! Microsoft's the developer of Windows, so that's the place to report bugs and there are people active assigning bugs to the appropriate team. What does Ubuntu do? Absolutely nothing! These bug reports are several years old, but there's still absolute

They're a workaround which somtimes works. Those applications also cause a lot of problems. I've tested all of them and there's none which really works. It just needs to be fixed in X, so there's a system wide clipboard which works for EVERY APPLICATION in EVERY DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT in EVERY DISTRIBUTION and for EVERY KIND OF CONTENT (like text, images, sound, a part of a video). Not like this will ever happen, because developers are as cocky and stubborn as can be, so don't a working clipboard in Linux in the upcoming 15 years. You want an operating system which has a clipboard (one of the most basic features of an operating system)? Then just don't use Linux, because Linux doesn't have a working clipboard. We all know a working clipboard is something every operating system has to support. Every serious operating system in the world has one since it's first release, because a clipboard is so important. Everyone knows it's completely ridiculous to release an operating system without a working clipboard. I think developers of Linux don't cosider Linux a serious operating system, because after all those years it still doesn't work in Linux. Look at this screenshot: http://www.computerhovel.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/s10.jpg That's Mac OS as it was released in 1984. Let me repeat that: NINETEEN EIGHTY FOUR!!! What do you see? Do you see the "Clipboard File"? Now it's 2010. Yes, it's TWO THOUSAND AND TEN!!! That's TWENTY SIX years later and Linux still doesn't have a clipboard which works. Really, what an epic fail! Developers, what's your goal? You want Linux to be only used in CLI mode on servers or do you want Linux to also be used on desktops? If you want Linux to be not only used in CLI mode, then create something usefull, instead of this kind of amateuristic piece of... [insert some word or words you like to use when swearing].

Until someone has the necessary experience, time, or motivation to fix this, it will just sit waiting. The occasional reminder on the bug report is fine, but please, the best thing you can do is start learning to code and maybe a few years down the line you'll be able to write the patch yourself if it's so important to you." There we go again. Why do users of Linux always have to do everything on their own. We are users, no developers. If they develop something, then do the job right and if you didn't do the job right, then fix it! Don't develop something and then tell your users you don't have the motivation to fix it and tell them: "Just fix it yourself." That's the main reason why Linux sucks. No commercial developer would ever come away with such kind of attitude. I've stopped using Linux, only because of this. There are so many bugs which still aren't fixed, even though they exist for years. What's the progress of these bugs? Zero! Really, in all those years there hasn't been any progress at all and the only replies you get are: "Fix it yourself!" What did I do? I sold my PC's and laptop and bought iMacs and a MacBook. Now everything just works. Apple is a commercial company. They can't afford such kind of attitude, because they'll loose customers. Why do you think Linux never gets more than 1% market share? Because Linux on the desktop is an epic fail and if the developers don't change their attitude and start fixing those old bugs, Linux will always be an epic fail on the desktop! -- 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 Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
