RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Radek Duda 2016-06-21 15:38:59 UTC 
timing:
17:11:26 - copy
17:11:42 - paste
Comment 2 Christophe Fergeau 2016-06-21 15:44:34 UTC 
We had https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1348624 in the past which was related to motif
Looks like we need to handle additional text targets ?

Your link redirects to this bug. You mean this one?: bug 1117764
Comment 4 Christophe Fergeau 2016-06-21 15:58:47 UTC 
Yep :) thanks!
Comment 5 Andrei Stepanov 2016-06-24 10:32:12 UTC 
Copy from Nedit and paste to Guest doesn't work for:

* PRIMARY selection - text is selected with a mouse
* CLIPBOARD selection - text is explicitly copied to clipboard

In both cases:

xsel/xclip always shows correct values for PRIMARY selection / CLIPBOARD selection as text is selected / copied in nedit:

xsel --output --primary
xsel --output --clipboard

xclip -selection clipboard -out
xclip -selection primary -out

nedit is built with lesstif
Comment 7 Pavel Grunt 2016-06-27 10:11:47 UTC 
There is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768082 about copying issues with nedit and gtk. It has wayland in the title, but can be related
Comment 8 Christophe Fergeau 2016-08-05 16:12:57 UTC 
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1117764 which mentions nedit/motif apps as well.

If so, can we still pull it to RHBA-2016:23034?
