Description David Jaša 2013-10-09 15:33:37 UTC

Description of problem:
when copying text from 3.3 client to a guest with 3.2 tools, line endings are wrong (presumably lf). The opposite direction works correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
agent from RHEV Tools 3.2 
mingw-virt-viewer-0.5.6-6.el6_64 (windows 7 32b)

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. copy some text with line breaks in a 3.3 client
2. paste it using Windows guest with 3.2 tools
3.

Actual results:
line endings are not displayed (but after that pasted text is selected & copied again & pasted back to the client, line endings are correct again)

Expected results:
line endings are correct

Comment 1 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-10-09 15:49:37 UTC

This is expected, and should be fixed with the new agent and crlf conversion.

The windows client with old agent will not perform \n  -> crlf conversion and sends \n-ending text (windows gtk+ always use utf8 \n ending clipboard text data).

Imho, it's not interesting changing this in old agent, as you will break the case windows->linux/utf8 when fixing the windows->windows case.

closing as wontfix for now
