In dealing with a problem, and in reading the archives, I came across this
thread from 2004, discussing how when you select text in an xterm (or any
x11 window), then copy it with Edit -> Copy or command-C, it doesn't always
move to the clipboard for pasting into other applications (e.g., Safari, or
MSWord).
I get inconsistent copying on my PowerBook G4 and my PowerMac G5, and have
been having this issue more or less since upgrading from OS9 to OSX (so,
several years). Currently using 10.4.10 on both machines, with x11 1.1.3.
Select-to-copy in X11 works fine, and it makes perfect sense that
select-to-copy shouldn't replace the contents of the OSX clipboard. But when
I hit command-C, it should...and it does...but not every time.
Apologies if I'm missing something that's been addressed and posted about
many times; none of the archive items I found provided a solution.
