My initial reaction to this bug report was to reproduce/confirm it.
WAttrib("selection="|| ...) did not paste nicely into OpenOffice or into Chrome
on my Linux box. But it Did paste nicely into a Terminal window, and into an
Emacs running in its own (GUI, not console) window. So it is a little more
complicated than just: our selection code has become broken somehow. It is more
like: many typical modern Linux applications do not grok our classic X11
selection mechanism and seem to use something else.
Cheers,
Clint

Good morning Jafar,
As you have said, you can copy from another application to the Unicon
IDE. However, the reverse is not true, at least in linux. I was able to
copy from gedit to UI but I could not copy from UI to gedit.
A quick follow through the code doesn't appear to show how to get to the
system clipboard. The UI creates a Clipboard object but this appears to
local to the Unicon VM. I will continue looking later today when I am
back from firewood collecting.
regards
Bruce Rennie
