Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-09-27 13:40:13 UTC 
Drag and drop of what, in what situation? It works for me.

libzvt or vte?
Comment 2 Pasupathi 2002-10-02 09:01:38 UTC 
Detailed Description of the problem:
  Open gedit, and type something... Now highlight the text you 
entered and drag the text into gnome-terminal. You would see that the 
text is copied onto gnome-terminal.. 
But when you do the other way i.e. from gnome-terminal to gedit and 
between two gnome-terminals  DnD doesn't work. 

Note: All the above observations are seen in libzvt.

AFAIK, this feature is possible only in dtterm (CDE application) and 
no other terminal apps does this.

Havoc, Does Vte has this feature?
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2002-10-02 13:37:59 UTC 
Ah, dnd of the selection. This looks unimplemented in 
vte at least.
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2002-10-28 22:18:33 UTC 
I'd suggest, Pasu, that the correct thing to do is to file enhancement
requests against both vte and zvt, and that it then get fixed in
gnome-terminal when the terminal widgets support it (if they should.)

Comment 9 Christian Persch 2008-12-16 19:09:45 UTC 
Actually there's nothing to do in g-t for this; all that's needed is vte to support this directly, which is bug 404677.
