This is probably a stupid question but I did not find the answer in the doc (Wine Developper's Guide). How do I copy-paste something from winedbg? A backtrace for instance. Or how do I copy/paste anything to/from any console application for that matter. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Linux: It is now safe to turn on your computer.

Select the text you want to copy and click with your middle mouse button (mouse button 2) wherever you want to paste it. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher ian.pilcher(a)home.com ========================================================================

Nope. I tried that, of course, and it doesn't work. More context: Winedbg is configured to open a new xterm, and it gives it a title of 'Wine console'. But if I try to select text like you would do with any self-respecting xterm, nothing happens: - the text is not highlighted in any way - the clipboard is not modified The same goes if I select something in an xterm and try to paste it in winedbg. I can click with the middle mouse button all I want, no text appears in the 'Wine console'. There's another anomaly. When winedbg is started via the 'just-in-time' debugging feature - it displays all lines in a stair-case fashion. It's as if it was missing a CR (no, I cannot copy/paste an example). - The 'Enter' key does not work. All other keys seem to work fine. I can type 'b', I can use backspace to erase it and type 'quit' instead. But typeing 'Enter' has no effect. Pretty limiting. Here is what I have in 'user.reg': [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Wine\\WineDbg] 973626765 [Software\\Wine\\WineDbg] 988436772 "BreakAllThreadsStartup"=dword:00000000 "BreakOnAttach"=dword:00000000 "BreakOnCritSectTimeOut"=dword:00000001 "BreakOnDllLoad"=dword:00000000 "BreakOnFirstChance"=dword:00000001 "ConChannelMask"=dword:00000001 "ExtDbgOnInvalidAddress"=dword:00000000 "StdChannelMask"=dword:00000000 "UseXTerm"=dword:00000001 I'm running Debian testing, xterm: 4.0.2-13 (same for all the other X packages), and I'm using wine from CVS (but older versions have the same problem) -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Computers are like airconditioners They stop working properly if you open WINDOWS

Pretty limiting. sounds more like a strange xterm behavior; may be the xterm, while started this way looks for a wrong termcap entry... could you check which value has the TERM environment variable when the xterm is started (TRACE("%s", getenv("TERM")) in win32/console.c after the fork ? this may help figuring this out

No the problem is that I enable Mouse Input in the Win32 Console, which disallows Cut & Paste. You can enable cut & paste by pressing NumLock usually. Ciao, Marcus

I think Eric meant it for the staircase effect and Enter not working. I'll try to dump the TERM value if I can reproduce the problem. As often as not the debugger does not start at all because I get into an infinite loop in the SEH handling. So this tells me that cut&paste is implemented with a Win95-like interface rather than the much better NT user interface. In Win95 you have to click on a button to be allowed to select stuff and another to copy, and yet another to paste. In NT a right-click + drag will select stuff. Another right-click will copy it, and a right-click will paste the contents of the clipboard. In any case there's a documentation issue (surprise, surprise)...

NumLock has no effect on cut&paste on my machine (but my window manager does not like it). -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Computers are like airconditioners They stop working properly if you open WINDOWS
