I don't know what happened, but copy/paste (either using CMD-C or the

Copy and paste from / to X11 works here just fine. Only sometimes (very seldom) pasting something from OS X to X11 fails, but then I just retry and mark again and press Command-C and pasting in X11 works with the middle mouse button (or depending on the application with Ctrl-v).

I did just try a few thins the other way around and all of them are working: - marking some text in X11 (and keep it marked) and then Command-V in an OS X window - marking some other text in X11 and then just clicked somewhere else in the same X11 window so the text is not marked anymore and then did Command-V in an OS X window - marking some other text in X11 and pressed Command-C, deselected and pressed Command-V on OS X window

Could it be, that you are using some 3rd party software, which gives you additional features to the pasteboard / clipboard? E.g. something which can manage several pasteboard entries. Eventually something like this does interfere with the OS X / X11 copy and paste.


bye
Fabian
