Description Göran Weinholt 2002-07-02 01:00:51 UTC 
Description of Problem:
Copy and paste does not work if you try to copy something with a non-ASCII
character in it.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Fire up a gnome-terminal.
2. Enter some non-ASCII characters, like 'едц'.
3. Try to copy and paste using the standard X way of marking the text, and
middle clicking where you want it.

Actual Results:
The text is marked and everything looks right, but the text apparently
never makes it to the copy and paste buffer.

Expected Results:
I expected it to work just like with any other text.
Comment 1 Tuomas Kuosmanen 2002-07-02 10:31:30 UTC 
Happens here too. It will copy/paste just fine if I cut plain ascii
chars, but even one latin1 character like öäå (just as Göran said)
borks it.

The problem seems to be in the "cut" part, since I can *paste* latin1
chars to gnome terminal just fine from Mozilla for example. It is just
that if I try to copy a block of text from gnome-terminal that
contains non-ascii chars, it just makes the copy buffer empty.

This happens both with the "middle mouse" selection and with the Gtk
cut/paste stuff (right click -> copy, paste on somewhere else on gedit
for example)

does this work for anyone else?

This is just another manifestation of bug 78007. If you guys can test
and build from the branch described in that bug, please do, and report
back (in that bug) if there are problems.

Reopening to mark as a duplicate of 78007.  I don't know why Luis
didn't already do that.  Reading 78007 it clearly does look like a
duplicate...
