Copy and paste to and from windows applications seems to be a lot more
stable now with the latest patches (thanks). However, I still have the
problem that, when I highlight something in an X window, it immediately
un-highlights itself.
I start XWin from /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat with the following
command:
start XWin -multiwindow -nounixkill -clipboard -nowinkill
If I leave off the -clipboard, highlighting works as expected. If I
then run clipbrd.exe I get the same behaviour as with the -clipboard
option.
Is this expected behaviour? Or am I doing something wrong?
Regards,
Cliff.
P.S. And does anyone have a cure for my constantly pressing the
right-button in windows applications and wondering why it doesn't paste
anything? :-)
