Hallo Gery,
thanks for your reply.
Inside xterm the middle button works fine to paste,
but what I need is to paste in arbitrary windows
applications - just by using the windows clipboard.
And that does not work.

Have you tried SHIFT+INSERT to paste text into those windows?

I've just observed something very interesting about this.
This happens for a window that's local to the cygwin X server. When I open a window on this server from a remote (linux) client via ssh -X, the problem does not appear!
That is,
- I sweep something onto my cut-buffer
- I can paste it into a linux window when the mouse cursor is anywhere on the screen.
- I can only paste it into a local cygwin xterm when the mouse cursor is directly over the target window.
- if I focus back on the linux window, I can paste the original string again (independent of the position of the mouse cursor).
Furthermore, I think I observed that the buffer gets *changed* when I moved the mouse from the linux window to the cygwin window.
I swept something, and could paste it into the linux window. Then, I focused on the cygwin with the mouse elsewhere. Pasting from the xterm cut buffer (or the "_" command) did not work. When I moved the mouse into the cygwin window, I could paste - but something else than I just swept got pasted!

Thanks to your Reply, Jim.
Yes, I tried SHIFT+INSERT (which I know from
XEmacs) to paste, but I never get pasted into
a windows application what I highlighted in my
xterm earlier on. Nevertheless, from one xterm
to another xterm this works fine...
One additional remark: When I highlight a piece
of text in my xterm, the content of the windows
clipboard does not remain unaffected: it is
cleared (reset to the empty string).
Even harder for me to understand ;-> ...
Greetings, Sven

Hallo Sven
Did you use the middle button of the mouse to paste the highligthed
text?

Hello,
a couple of weeks ago I installed cygwin (1.7.5) on
my new Win7-PC.
On my old XP-PC the xterm-selection was a highly
appreciated function to make some text accessible
in the windows clipboard by simply highlighting it
with the mouse, but with my new PC that does not
work any more. Selections do not affect the content
of the clipboard.
Checking/unchecking the "Select to Clipboard" item
under "VT Options" does not change anything.
Any idea what the problem is and how I could get
this working?
Thanks for any support.
Sven
