I've just observed something very interesting about this. This happens for a window that's local to the cygwin X server. When I open a window on this server from a remote (linux) client via ssh -X, the problem does not appear! That is, - I sweep something onto my cut-buffer - I can paste it into a linux window when the mouse cursor is anywhere on the screen. - I can only paste it into a local cygwin xterm when the mouse cursor is directly over the target window. - if I focus back on the linux window, I can paste the original string again (independent of the position of the mouse cursor). Furthermore, I think I observed that the buffer gets *changed* when I moved the mouse from the linux window to the cygwin window. I swept something, and could paste it into the linux window. Then, I focused on the cygwin with the mouse elsewhere. Pasting from the xterm cut buffer (or the "_" command) did not work. When I moved the mouse into the cygwin window, I could paste - but something else than I just swept got pasted! -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
