1. Open Nettool
2. Input an IP or hostname.
3. Press 'Trace'.
4. Edit -> Copy

5. Open gEdit
6. Edit -> Paste.
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2007-08-06 23:33:47 UTC 
nothing is copied when using those steps, reopening
Comment 3 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2007-08-06 23:52:06 UTC 
Interesting.

If I try the Ubuntu Feisty version, it doesn't work.

If I try svn trunk version, it works.

I don't remember anyone have touched that piece of code in a while.

May you try the svn trunk's version?
Comment 4 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2007-08-07 20:47:50 UTC 
I've tested it using gnome-nettool 2.14 from Debian Etch, and it also works.

traceroute.c didn't change between 2.14 to 2.18. My guess the bug was introduced by the Ubuntu customization (it uses tracepath instead tcptraceroute/traceroute).

In Ubuntu Feisty, at the moment of paste, the output is the following:

(gnome-nettool:29446): Gdk-WARNING **: Error converting from UTF-8 to STRING: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input

So, I guess strip_line (traceroute.c) is filled with some garbage.
