GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 129731
Clipboard interaction gets text but assumes it is XML source
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Currently the clipboard and PRIMARY handling asks for and gives "text" as its format, but the actual content is XML source. The code should intelligently handle some of the different formats that are out there. Text should come through with escaping as necessary.

I've committed a fix to CVS for this. The code now offers and retrieve data to/from the selection as both text (escaping as necessary) and as XML.
