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?

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 ? CLaudio
