I did some more searching and it seems this is a documented feature, not a bug. See http://www.openssh.com/faq.html item 3.13 Yup, it's mentioned in the FC3 release notes too. This a dup of bug #137685 |
Description of problem: From an X session, connect to local or remote host using ssh with X11 forwarding. Fire up an application, e.g. xterm or emacs and select some text by clicking and dragging mouse. Application dies with error message such as: X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Atom id in failed request: 0x1a8 Serial number of failed request: 208 Current serial number in output stream: 210 or X protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on protocol request 38 Workaround: this behavior goes away if ssh -Y option is used or ForwardX11Trusted=yes is in ssh_config. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssh-3.9p1-7 xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.21 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. log on to X 2. ssh somehost 3. xterm & 4. click and drag mouse over some text Actual results: program dies and closes window with BadWindow or BadAtom error Expected results: program should continue running with text selected Additional info: See http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/BadAtom_BadWindow_errors_with_ssh_X11_forwarding.html for an independent report.
