Doesn't work here either. Even normal pasting into email doesn't work, i.e. I just pasted the above quote with ctrl-shift-v into evolution's composer, but pasting it without quotes with ctrl-v doesn't work! xclip -selection clipboard -o works fine. Incidentally, just using the middle mouse button to paste the "primary" selection into the terminal works, but ctrl-shift-v will try to use the "clipboard" selection, which doesn't work, even though it is not empty as xclip shows. The "primary" selection is properly updated by epiphany when I just select text, and according to xclip (as above) the "clipboard" selection is also updated when I use ctrl-c, but the result is evidently incompatible with a bunch of programs. This follows (b) of http://standards.freedesktop.org/clipboards-spec/clipboards-0.1.txt I suspect that gnome-terminal and epiphany just don't agree about the atom type transferred, but I can't seem to figure out how to debug that. johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
