xemacs gets bored
I use a single xemacs for very long periods at a time (weeks). Every
once in a while, due to something I can't yet identify, xemacs gets
bored and decides that X-11 paste should stop working. Hitting the
middle button does nothing.
I know it's xemacs, because without changing the selection I
restart xemacs, then hitting the middle button pastes in the text
that I wanted to paste, which didn't work before restarting xemacs.
This is:
