Hi All,
I've seen a few mentions of this in the mailing list archives, but nothing
specific to my problem.
Randomly, being able to cut/paste between an XQuartz xterm and any Mac
app just stops working, for no apparent reason. When it does happen,
I'm still able to cut/paste between different X11 apps and between
different Mac apps, but not to/from an X11 app and a Mac app.
I'm running Snow 10.6.8 on a Mac Mini with all of the latest updates
and XQuartz 2.6.3, although it also happens on a MacBook Pro with the
same software versions.
I can't (surprise, surprise) reproduce the problem, which can happen
once a week or sometimes not for months. I've had this problem for
as long as I can remember, with stock Apple X11 or XQuartz on variety
of hardware and MacOS versions. The only way I've found to correct the
problem is to close down all X11 apps and restart XQuartz.
My X11 Pasteboard preferences have all options checked.
I know this is not much to go on and am not expecting a "oh, just do xxx
and yyy to fix the problem". As it's not reproducible, I'd like to know
what type of debugging info I can collect when it's in this failed mode.
(logs, checking XQuartz and Mac clipboard contents, etc)
Any advice/ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Doug
