Package: xfce4-terminal Version: 0.8.3-1 Severity: normal File: xfce4-ter Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, I noticed the setting for "Automatically copy selection to clipboard" in the Preferences. I thought, that's cool, like Putty does. But it doesn't work quite as reliably as you'd like. Within a given program (e.g. less), it puts whatever you highlight on the clipboard and that can be pasted another place in the program, or to another window. The only issue is if you want to close that program, then open another one or another instance of the same one, and use the copied material. It has evaporated. I determined the point it evaporates is when the program exits. Even more curious, sometimes rather than evaporating, another bit of text (the same length, and from the same columns) from the scrollback of the terminal will get substituted on the clipboard when quitting. I turned it off for now and went back to Ctrl-Shift-C, Ctrl-Shift-V. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xfce4-terminal depends on: ii exo-utils 0.10.7-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.22.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-9 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.4-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.2-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.8-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libvte-2.91-0 0.46.1-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxfce4ui-2-0 4.12.1-2 ii libxfce4util7 4.12.1-3 Versions of packages xfce4-terminal recommends: ii dbus-user-session [default-dbus-session-bus] 1.10.16-1 ii dbus-x11 [dbus-session-bus] 1.10.16-1 xfce4-terminal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
