X selection bug in 21.1

can somebody reproduce (or even fix) this? It bug X11/62 (see http://cvs.xemacs.org/XEmacs-bugs/X11?id=62;user=guest ) Gunnar -------------------- Full_Name: Greg Jumper OS: SunOS 5.8 s28_25 Version: 21.1 "20 Minutes to Nikko" XEmacs Lucid (patch 2) mule: no severity: Aggravating Submission from: (NULL) (192.9.25.22) I can now reproduce this problem (category X11, problem report 62) at will: 1) xemacs -q file1 & 2) visit file2 in frame2 3) select some text in frame2 and "copy-primary-selection" 4) use "yank-clipboard-selection" to paste the above text in frame1 From this point on, XEmacs will never paste anything copied from another application -- XEmacs will always pasted the last thing *it* copied. Normally, I "don't do windows", so I might not know what I'm talking about, but it appears that, once one has done copy-paste between frames, XEmacs no longer processes "SelectionClear" events (via x_handle_selection_clear()) whenever it has a clipboard selection but some other application makes a new clipboard selection. As long as one limits XEmacs' copy/paste operations to a single frame, "SelectionClear" events appear when clipboard ownership changes between applications. Hope this helps; please let me know if any progress is made on this problem. This bug has become so annoying for me that I would have preferred a fix for this in 21.1.2 rather than any other bug fixes or new features. :) Thanks, Greg -------------------- -- Gunnar Evermann Speech, Vision & Robotics Group Engineering Department Cambridge University
