Feel > free to reassign. :-) aterm is probably the right choice because pasting anything beyond iso-8859-1 from xterm gives me junk in the paste. The copy and paste code was changed between 0.4.2 and 1.0.0, but I don't know how and why. > If you need further information, don't hesitate to ask me. Thanks for reporting the bug. There is one thing that I'm not sure about though: how do you want copy and paste to behave in a situation like this? What should happen to the unrepresentable characters?
