Hi Jon, welcome back from your holiday. =20 > I assume that you see the same behavior with other X applications, i.e. i= t's > not xterm-specific? No, at least xedit works fine on my PC, with blind keys and with mouse text= pasting,=20 no matter if the mouse pointer is really inside or on blue window frame or (for blind keys:) really outside. Mouse pointer on blue window frame comes from a typical use case: when clic= king focus to the window. Then the mouse pointer stays there. The window has the focus but you can't = paste inside xterm before moving the mouse really inside. With xedit that works.
