Description keelin.boyle 2002-04-29 10:35:20 UTC 
Gnome-terminal2 version 1.9.3, on Solaris 8, gnome2.0 beta 4 community
build, ocassionally pastes extra characters when copying less than 2
characters.

To Reproduce:

1) Open gnome-terminal.
2) Type a command .e.g. grep.
3) With the mouse highlight "ep" and paste onto the end of command several
times, with the middle mouse button.

Occasional Result: extra characters appended to the original 

.e.g. grepepep{8


As the bug is occasional, the steps above should be carried out several
times, always in a newly opened terminal, to reproduce bug.

Reminder that GNOME2 terminal bugs go in gnome-terminal; I've made the
description clearer wrt that.

libzvt issue

I suspect it's with the copy rather than the paste, I couldn't find
the issue in zvt_term_paste().

zvt_term_paste() does fail to handle NULL return from
gdk_utf8_to_string_target()
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-05-01 14:22:12 UTC 
Again, basic terminal functionality (though, I suppose this might not
be a regression like some of the stability stuff? If so, maybe puntable?)
Comment 4 arunapr 2002-05-15 11:51:00 UTC 
I tried with latest cvs source, I am not able to reproduce the bug. Is
any one else is able to reproduce ?
Comment 5 jacob berkman 2002-05-15 17:45:18 UTC 
i couldn't reproduce it on linux or solaris (64-bit)
Comment 6 arunapr 2002-05-17 04:29:55 UTC 
then this can be closed, if no one as any issue ?
Comment 7 Luis Villa 2002-05-24 22:23:34 UTC 
No problem from here. Closing... Keelin, please reopen if you see a
problem.
