Description of problem: Apparently gvim cannot communicate with any selections properly anymore (cannot import them or create them). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vim-X11-7.2.148-1.fc11.x86_64 <===== not changed since F11! Components changed today: libX11-1.2.1-3.fc12.x86_64 glib2-2.21.3-1.fc12.x86_64 --- unlikely, but... gtk2-2.17.3-1.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg was updated too, but I ran over TCP to a different display, same story. So that's not it. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. open gvim 2. create a selection CLIPBOARD somewhere else 3. optional: verify with xclip -o -selection clipboard 4. go back to gvim and do "+p Actual results: No paste Expected results: Paste Additional info: Forget complains about the "CRITICAL **: gtk_form_set_static_gravity: assertion `static_gravity_supported' failed". This one is a bit problem, virtually makes gvim useless.
Interesting. Sounds like client-side window fallout. Filed here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588115
If you want to close this and track upstram it's fine, I have account.
Should be fixed in 2.17.4
Confirmed fixed (I downloaded gtk2-2.17.4-1.fc12.x86_64 from Koji).
