Summary: Clipboard functions don't work in console applications Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winex11.drv AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dmitry@zend.com
Created an attachment (id=15827) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=15827) proposed patch
My favorite console file manager FAR (http://www.farmanager.com/) almost work under wineconsole except for clipboard operations (<Ctrl-Ins>, <Shift-Ins> in FAR's internal editor and command line).
I run it with the following command on Fedora-8/x86.
$ wineconsole --backend=user ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/FAR/Far.exe
The reason of the problem is loss of SelectionRequest/SelectionClear X11 events.
I've attached a patch which fixes the problem. May be it looks like a hack, but anyway it can help to fix the problem in better way.
It would be nice to have the problem fixed in next Wine release.
