Hi Tony :) Sorry for the delay in replying!

Almost a decade has passed since I last had to program using xlib directly, and even then I didn't had to deal with the selections, but if I remember correctly, there were not any way of specifying the encoding of the clipboard, although I may be wrong. > - What is your system locale?

I don't have gvim on my system, but my locale is set system-wise, it's the same for any app, no matter how is it launched. My locale is en_US.utf8 except for es_ES.UTF8 in some categories (LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE, LC_TIME, LC_MONETARY, LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS, LC_MEASUREMENT). I don't think it is a locale issue. > - What happens if instead of Chrome you use Firefox or Konqueror or...? It works, the problem only happens (for now...) if using Chrome. It may be a subtle Chrome bug that only happens when using the clipboard with Vim :? > - What happens if instead of Console Vim you use gvim? I don't have gvim on my system :( Thanks, Tony :) -- Raúl "DervishD" Núñez de Arenas Coronado Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net The revolution will not be televised -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
