Bug #: 31216 Summary: Cut and paste: gnome terminal overrides Wine clipboard? Product: Wine Version: 1.3.15 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com Classification: Unclassified
A Windows user running Centos 5 in VMWare, with Tanner S-Edit inside the Centos instance in Wine (1.3.15?) and Microsoft Office running natively in Windows, noticed the following problem:
Copying from S-Edit (on Linux) and pasting into Office (on Windows) worked fine. However, if you run Gnome Terminal, select some text in it, and do Copy, then copy from S-Edit, and then paste into Office, the text that is pasted is the text that was copied earlier from Gnome Terminal. If you then close Gnome Terminal and paste into Office, the S-Edit text you copied earlier is pasted.
So it seems Gnome Terminal is offering some data type that Wine isn't, and VMWare's clipboard integration prefers that data type.
The little windows clipboard viewer at http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-p/clipboard/externallinks/article.php/c9155/Cl... might be helpful in diagnosing this, I'll ask the user to try that.
I haven't found a similar simple clipboard viewer which shows details of what's being offered on the various clipboard-like mechanisms (as opposed to a clipboard manager, which tries to hide details) for Linux yet.
