Interesting. You have said that, my apologies. So you are saying there
are times when you select something in an X-term, hit command-C, then go
to another app and hit command-V and it does not work? Amazing.
Correct. And that I have had this problem since the x11 beta.
I work with literally dozens of xterms at a time in multiple virtual
desktops and copy and paste all day long and never have a problem. Lucky
me, eh? I used to have a problem, but once I closely watched what I was
doing it became apparent to me I wasn't quite following the obvious
select, copy, paste sequence. Next time it happens, maybe look to see if
your selection in xterm is still active when it fails. I'll be it is not.
It often is, actually. I noted this in a prior email as well. Sometimes the
selection disappears when clicking back into xterm (which makes sense, as
I am always able to copy things from Aqua and paste them into xterm, and x11
appears to copy the OSX clipboard into the x11 clipboard when an x11 window
comes to the front), and sometimes it doesn't (for instance, when there is
nothing in the OSX clipboard).
The thing that causes the selection to become inactive is the real
problem.
For example, select some text in xterm. Now hit command-C. Now click
elsewhere in the xterm window to deselect the original text. Now try to
paste into somewhere. It won't work. The text has to remain selected.
Is that the problem?
Interesting...indeed, wwhen the text is deselected after hitting command-C,
it will no longer paste into Aqua applications. (Though I do not understand
why Apple would cause this to be the case, it is indeed the case.) I hadn't
noticed that. Sometimes when it is selected, though, it still fails to
paste.
