I am starting Cygwin using the following commands : CYGWIN=3D"server" XWin -nodecoration -silent-dup-error & export CYGWIN # Make sure XWin is ready to accept connections before proc= eeding while (( $(checkX -d $DISPLAY -t 12) )) ; do sleep 2 done # Start the urxvt server /usr/bin/urxvtd -q -f -o # Start the Window manager wmaker & However when I attempt to highlight text within a urxvt session using a dou= ble click to select a word or click and hold while dragging the cursor the = text drops the highlight when I release the mouse button and nothing appear= s to be placed on the clipboard. This gives the following errors : winClipboardWindowProc - timed out waiting for WIN_XEVENTS_NOTIFY winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionRequest - GetClipboardData () f= ailed: 00002733 If I try to cut and paste to a MS application only the last MS clipboard co= ntents are pasted. If I try to paste the contents of the MS clipboard to a urxvt window nothin= g is pasted If I try to paste any text into a gvim editor window it causes = the gvim to hang which then has to be killed. Now for the strange bits: After a period of time, maybe an hour, a selection will stay highlighted fo= r about 5 seconds which will allow it to be pasted any number of times usin= g the middle mouse button to any application, under Cygwin/X using focus fo= llows mouse or MS Windows, while it is highlighted. When the highlighing is= dropped then the previous problems re-occur, ie nothing will be pasted and= it will again cause gvim to hang. When it fails to paste it give the following error : winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionRequest - GetClipboardData () failed: 0= 000058a After yet more time, about 2 hours after starting Cygwin, the problem appea= rs to have vanished completely and text will highlight correctly and paste = to any application using the middle mouse button under Cygwin or unde= r Windows. Even when the highlighted text is de-selected by a single mouse click the i= tem can still be pasted successfully. Before upgrading, from the pre-release 1.7 to 1.7.5-1, occasionly text woul= d not stay highlighted but this could normally be corrected by shutting dow= n Cygwin/X and restarting. This has not been successful since updating. Any ideas on what is happening and what I may be able to try to correct the= issue would be appreciated Thanks Stv_T Company of the Year - Insurance Day London Market Awards 2009Most Client Re= sponsive Insurer of the Year - European Risk Management Awards, StrategicRI= SK 2010Chartis Insurance UK Limited Registered in England: company number 1486260 Registered address: The Chartis Building, 58 Fenchurch St, London EC3M 4AB,= United Kingdom Authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA regist= ration number 202628) This information can be checked by visiting the FSA website - www.fsa.gov.u= k/register/firmSearchForm.do Please visit our website - www.chartisinsurance.com/uk The information contained within this email and any attachment is strictly = confidential and may be legally privileged.
