Has something changed in the very lasted security update? I've just this
morning run Software Update (last ran it perhaps a week ago, around the
time we started this conversation), and I can't reproduce the problem
anymore!
Oop. Oh yes I can. This is what I just did:
1. Selected some text from this mail as I'm composing it (in a remotely
hosted copy of pine over ssh -CX)
2. Edit->Copy
3. Command-Tab to Safari
4. Command-N to open a new Safari window
5. Command-V to paste the text: no go, it's gone.
Tried again (without opening a new Safari window) and the text pasted, but
by the time I Command-Tabbed back here the selection was gone. Now this
is strange: it's still in the clip-board, but no longer selected in xterm.
One more try:
Ooh, now this is odd. Pastes, but as I command-tab back I see the
selection vanish.
One more try: the selection vanishes before I can paste it, and it's not
in the clipboard.
At this particular instant, I'm running: X11, Safari, iTunes, Terminal,
and X11 is remotely running a remote shell (currently runing pine) in an
xterm and a remote copy of emacs.
Very odd. Does anyone else on the list see this strange "volatile copy"
effect with remote X11 sessions?
