Subject: Cygwin clipboard flaky on Windows 7
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2014 11:28:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5440FD4E.7040304@stenton.me.uk> (raw)

After 4 years I've just upgrade to version :-

CYGWIN_NT-6.1 mars 1.7.32(0.274/5/3) 2014-08-13 23:03 i686 Cygwin

I use the following batch file :-

run XWin :1 -clipboard -nodecoration -notrayicon -dpi 100  -query 
machine  -from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -once

on my windows 7 machine.

When X is first started and with one "windows notepad" open I can 
bi-directionally  cut and paste between the MS and X windows world. 
However, it seems  that if I have multiple MS windows open then I can't 
cut from MS windows and paste into the X world. It still works for X 
world to MS World.

Sadly I wrote over my old version which did not have this issue. Is 
there any fix for this?

Thanks

Chris
