Re: copy and paste between Aqua and X11 applications?

Wow, so to be clear, if you select text in X11, use Cmd-C, then
deselect the text by clicking somewhere else in X11, then paste into

works here.

I think you're going to have capture OS version, X11 version and hardware platform (Intel/PPC) in order to have the straw poll be uesful.

iMac (PPC G5) and MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo) X11 1.1.3 on both Mac OS X 10.4.10 on both

works on both

Can you please provide the exact series of clicks and key combinations you use, as well as which Aqua document you are pasting into, so we can try to replicate this? My experiences with (so far) PowerMac G5, intel iMac, PowerBook G4, and MacBook Pro all suggest that this doesn't work. Could you perhaps begin by copying some different text from one Aqua app into another?

For instance, a series like this would be helpful:

1) Click into URL bar of safari.
2) Triple-click to select the whole URL.
3) Command-C.
4) Click into MSWord.
5) Command-V. (URL pastes)
6) Click into X11.
7) Select some text.
8) Command-C.
9) Click elsewhere in X11 to deselect text.
10) Click into MSWord.
11) Command-V. (What gets pasted?)

Also, do you have any other applications or cdevs which might be altering
the way your computer's clipboard works?
