Clipboard copy-paste doesn't work on KDE 3.5
Last modified: 2008-04-27 13:38:55 UTC
Please describe the problem: I use Kubuntu 7.10 (KDE 3.5.8) and Dia last version from Ubuntu repositories. And I can't use clipboard exchange with other programs. When I copy some object in Dia, I can paste it only in Dia, but other programs see clipboard empty (or with old results). And when I copy something from another program (for example, text in Kate), Dia doesn't see it, Dia clipboard is empty or with last copied to clipboard object with Dia. Steps to reproduce: 1. Load Kate (KDE clipboard is empty). 2. Create some text, select 3. Go to menu Edit -> Copy (or Ctrl-С) 4. Switch to Dia 5. Paste clipboard in Dia (menu Edit -> Paste (or Ctrl-V) -> Dia doesn't see anything in clipboad! 6. Paste clipboard in Kate (menu Edit -> Paste (or Ctrl-V) -> Kate have succesfully paste copied text! Another test: 1. Load Dia (KDE clipboard is empty). 2. Create an object 3. Go to menu Edit -> Copy (or Ctrl-С) 4. Switch to Kate 5. Paste clipboard in Kate (menu Edit -> Paste (or Ctrl-V) -> Kate doesn't see anything in clipboad! 6. Paste clipboard in Dia (menu Edit -> Paste (or Ctrl-V) -> Dia have succesfully paste copied object! Actual results: Clipboard doesn't changes! Expected results: Clipboard must have copied text or object! Does this happen every time? Yes, every time Other information:
Other Gnome software (for example, Gimp) works good with KDE Clipboard in my system.
If you can point me to a working clipboard transfer for *vectors* I may consider to work on this. Haven't found one not crashing or doing nothing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 336304 ***
