Description Jaroslaw Sosnicki 2000-12-27 01:44:51 UTC
Unable to cut and paste between gnome-terminal 1.2.1 and
netscape-communicator-4.76-4

Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2001-01-02 21:51:04 UTC
How do you do the cut, and how do you do the paste, and into which part of
Netscape? (i.e. do you choose a menu item to cut, choose a menu item to paste,
or just use mouse buttons? Do you paste into the location bar or a text box?)

Comment 2 Jaroslaw Sosnicki 2001-01-25 05:07:08 UTC
Cut and paste works fine between Netscape windows by using higliting and Alt-c
and to paste Alt-v.  It also works by cut in Netscape Alt-c and pasting into
gnome-terminal 1.2.4 by using Edit->Paste (Ctl-V does not work)  also, there is
no Edit->Cut or Edit->Copy options.

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2001-01-25 05:35:10 UTC
That gnome-terminal menu accelerators are displayed is a bug, gnome-terminal
doesn't have accelerators because it needs to send those keys to applications.
Also, I agree gnome-terminal should have cut/copy menu items. Both of those
should be filed as individual reports though so they get tracked.


Should I leave a bug open that cut and paste from Netscape to gnome-terminal
fails? When does that happen?

Comment 4 Jaroslaw Sosnicki 2001-01-25 17:39:56 UTC
Actually,  cut in netscape and paste into gnome-terminal works. 
What does not work is cut in gnome-terminal and paste into netscape (forms,
email, location bar, etc)

Please keep ticket open utill fixed.

I will open ticket for gnome terminal.

Comment 6 Havoc Pennington 2001-07-12 18:01:47 UTC
wait - gnome-terminal doesn't have a "cut" menu item at all. How can it not work?

Comment 7 Kjartan Maraas 2004-03-29 20:32:04 UTC
Closing this as fixed upstream. There are menu entries for this now
and they work for me. Haven't tried against that old version of
netscape though.
