Description Claudio Fontana 2004-12-09 09:41:18 UTC

When heavily using xedit copy+paste features, 'random' bugs concerning selection
appear.
Sometimes the selection in xedit is mistakenly replaced automatically with text
selected in another window.

To reproduce try (does not always work, don't know what it depends on) :

- select some text in xedit
- open a terminal and select some text there
- looking back at the xedit window you sometimes find your selection replaced
with the contents selected in the terminal window.

This and other bugs regarding xedit become evident when using the program a lot
(expecially when using select, paste a lot).

Are you still experiencing this problem using a more current version of xorg?

Comment 2 Erik Andren 2006-05-21 07:08:42 UTC

Ping!

Here I am.
I am building 7.1 from source
to verify whether the problem is solved,
however I cannot find some of the dependencies.
There seem to be missing source tarballs, at least in

proto/

xf86driproto, for example.
Should I test with 7.0 instead ?

Marking broken (status null/blank) bugs in xorg with no activity in a long time as fixed. Please reopen if you think it's necessary, but first do a search if a similar bug report is already filed and in a NEW/ASSIGNED state. These bugs do not currently show in most search results as they do not have any status.
