Linux Copy and Paste Problems

[devilsclaw]

right now I only use ctrl-c and ctrl-v for my copy and paste actions.

from what i can tell when you copy something it does not always copy its like your selection was empty even though it was not.

or it was not able to fill the clipboard or something.

then i notices when editing one file i copied something and i even pasted it in that screen.

then i went to another file to past it in and it pasted something i copied in that file earlyer.

current svn build 3800

I was wondering where the copy paste code was location in the project since searching for copy would likely give to many results

AFAIK, the problem is with wxGTK 2.6.3, not with C::B's code.

fun. does 2.6.4 fix the problem or do i need to move to 2.8

or is there any patch that has been made for it here.

i will check the patch section but if you know it would be nice.

I'm currently using wx 2.6.4 in Linux. But I'm not sure whether it fixes it or not (I use winxp most of the time). You may give wx 2.6.4 a try. It came with a lot of fixes.

But this problem has been fixed in wx 2.8.0.

Another problem which you didn't face is sporadic crash while Copy-Paste which is also due to wxGTK 2.6.3. I faced it sometimes back but right now it works fine.

thanks you for the info. i will try moving to 2.6.4.

I do already have 2.8 installed but most everything on my system is linked against 2.6.x

and i forget how to force programs to link against libs that are not in the ld.so.conf

since i dont really want my old apps to break right now.
