Here is my report again. I am using the latest test X server (1.20.5-3 built 2019-09-06), HOWEVER, I have seen this problem again and again for months now. After I copy/paste enough, either from Xterm to Xterm, or Xterm to Windows, eventually it stops working. I can still select text in the Xterm, but I'm unable to paste it into windows - nothing happens. My fuzzy recollection is that copy/paste from X to X still works, but I forgot to test that today. The only way I have found to fix this is to exit the X server and restart it. Simply creating a new Xterm does not fix the problem. 1. Is there any information I can provide to help debug this problem? 2. Is there a way to reset the X server's (or maybe Windows') copy/paste buffer without having to close all my X windows and restart the server? -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
