From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0 i686; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010118 It seems that i cannot make copy/paste from exmh to gnome-terminal.. I can copy/paste from exmh to emacs or to xterm but not to gnome-terminal.. I can also copy/paste from emacs to gnome-term.. so as a work around i can copy/paste from exmh -> emacs -> gnome-terminal.. While writing this mail i also tried to copy/paste from fetchmailconf to gnome-term and it didn't work too.. fetchmailconf & exmh are both tk clients.. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. gnome-terminal & 2. fetchmailconf & 3. select some text in fetchmailconf with the mouse and try to paste it in the gnome-teminal Actual Results: nothing happens.. Expected Results: The text is pasted in gnome-terminal The bug was not present in guinness.. This may be gnome-core issue or tk issue
Are you pasting to gnome-terminal with middle mouse or with the Paste menu item? Does one work and not the other? See http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/clipboards.txt, this is probably a Tk bug.
Nevermind, the problem is that gnome-terminal was patched to use the COMPOUND_TEXT target instead of the STRING target for paste as part of Japanese multibyte support, this is incorrect, it needs to support both targets. I'll fix this - it should be MUST-FIX as it will cause interoperability issues with many clients.
Should be fixed in gnome-libs-1.2.8-8
Closing as fixed UPSTREAM. 1.x is no longer supported anyway.
