Xchat-gnome modifies CLIPBOARD clipboard buffer on selecting text
Last modified: 2012-08-22 00:58:59 UTC
When selecting text in xchat-gnome, the selected text is inserted into the PRIMARY X buffer, as expected. However, it also inserts that text into the CLIPBOARD buffer, which is supposed to be reserved for more explict cut/copy/paste. Steps to reproduce: 1) Select *this text* in your browser, right click, and select "copy" 2) In xchat-gnome, select text from an IRC window 3) Right-click on the xchat-gnome text entry, and select "paste". Expected results: - *this text* appears in the text entry Observed results: - Text selected in the xchat-gnome window appears in the text entry.
This is a dupe of #624792, and a patch to fix it is currently in #658502.
Huh. Must have been a bad day for me to file a dupe of a bug I'd already filed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 624792 ***
