Hi
Thanks for the info.

However, to copy text it is still not possible to drag over the text as in other X apps. In fact even if Context menu->Edit->Mark is selected it is necessary to use the keyboard to increase the selection area. This is not very quick because keyboard repeat is not used, so I have to hammer my arrow keys like I am playing an old Atari game!
(perhaps related to the other X11 Clipboard thread currently)
yes, behavior is the one of windows... need to explicitely copy info into the clipboard. and yes, key autorepeat as to implemented... :-(
Is there a reason Wine does not have its own X11 compatible code the same way that Mozilla or other Free Software applications do?
The "quick edit" functionality is great, however I am still getting an extra date column on the right of my pastes when typing "dir" (date column is on the left of dir output).
I don't understand your issue here
Basically the buffer wraps around, so if i manually try and resize the window right, the right of the copy repeats the left etc
C:\windows>dir /p /w V Volume in drive D is Home V Volume Serial Number is 1234-5678
D Directory of D:\c\windows\

See this text in unwrapped mode of your email client, ths "V" of the two "Volumes" appears at the end of the line in an extra collumn.
This is worse if the window is bigger. This bug also surface under other circumstances that I have not been able to repeat yet.
