I am still seeing a problem with XQuartz-2.5.3 where copying
highlighted text from an X11 xterm into non-X11 windows (e.g.
Safari) fails. Highlighting the text in the xterm, pressing
CMD-C, then CMD-V in Safari returns old data that was copied
using highlight-middleMouseButton at some earlier time.
This doesn't happen all the time, as CMD-C/CMD-V works for
extended periods, then stops until I exit and restart X11.
I have everything checked in X11->Preferences->Pasteboard.
This has been an ongoing problem with X11, with the Snow Leopard
versions as well as XQuartz.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this?
One possibility that just occurred to me is that shortly before
the most recent occurrence, I had run the older VMware Server X11
console interface on a CentOS 5 Linux box to test some gnome font
settings. I have VMware configured so ctrl-shift-cmd switches
out of the VM back to the desktop (actually ctrl-shift-alt on the
Microsoft 4000 Natural keyboard on a KVM switch to my Macbook
Pro).
FWIW, I have the option/cmd keys switched for the Microsoft keyboard
in preferences so they are similar to the Apple keyboard. I am
*NOT* using the Microsoft IntelliKey on the Macbook.
