Subject: Copy/paste from Xterm to Windows stops working
Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2019 23:17:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAK-n8j7VwMp6d_Lskt7eh7ABo8sk7xRr4SSapf=55wXqdZfvNg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
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?
Thanks - Jim
