Unable to copy text outside of the editor app #12
Comments
I'm unable to reproduce this here. Whats your output of: "xdpyinfo | grep -i version"? Do both Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v, as well as the linux select text + middle click to paste, don't work? |
$ xdpyinfo | grep -i version
version number: 11.0
X.Org version: 1.19.6 Yes both Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v as well as the linux select text + middle click to paste does not work from the editor app to any other app. However they work in the reverse direction, i.e from any other app to the editor app. I am on elementary OS 5.0 Juno(64 bit)

@rythmkraze It's unlikely that your problem got solved by the 9c340eb commit, but the editor will now show a message if the requested copy atom is not supported. |

Those debug errors msgs have been removed. Elementary OS has apps that don't use the "middle-click" copy/paste. This seems to be by design. For example: selecting from a terminal and "middle-click" paste into epiphany address bar doesn't work. On the other hand, it works if inside the same terminal window, but it doesn't to a different terminal window. So this isn't a specific issue with the editor since it works fine in other distros. More specifically, the X11 "primary" selectionRequest event is not being received by the owner of the data. But it is getting received for the "clipboard" selection. So again, this seems to be by design. Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V works as intended. |
