(Un?)fortunately, not for me.
1) Are you sure it's a busyloop? Try giving it an hour. (I'm pretty
sure that even Motif protocol won't take that long.)
Unfortunately my computer becomes quite unusable after that. X process
jumps to 100% CPU usage, XEmacs process jumps to 40% (it's a SMP system).
2) Can you reproduce with xemacs -vanilla?
Yes.
3) What are the values of
interprogram-cut-function
`interprogram-cut-function' is a variable declared in Lisp.
Value: own-clipboard
interprogram-paste-function
`interprogram-paste-function' is a variable declared in Lisp.
Value: get-clipboard-foreign
x-selection-strict-motif-ownership
`x-selection-strict-motif-ownership' is a built-in boolean variable.
Value: t
The values are the same for "xemacs -vanilla". Setting the last variable
to "nil" doesn't fix the problem.
BTW: The problem is the same with Ctrl-W (kill-region).
Regards,
Stefan
