Yes, please do!  Let's get a bug filed about this.

There are quite a few copy and paste bugs in Wine, e.g.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2382
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3486

I wonder if just getting copy and paste working well would be
a sufficient summer of code project!  Too bad submissions
are closed.  Ah, well, next year :-)

Good idea.. And then we can rewrite the keyboard code for SoC 2008!  The clipboard is quite a bit tricky and AJ I think would be as picky about this as the opengl fixes and WM fixes that go in.  Although I would still like to see the keyboard code get fixed soon, I don't think it is going to happen.  Of course, I am starting school again this fall (changed majors so I need to start all over), so perhaps this time I can take some programming classes, and by the time that SoC 2008 rolls around I should be familiar enough to be able to understand the things that Peter Astrand was talking about before, and possibly code it myself.
