Dear List,
this is not realy a bug but nevertheless worth to discuss: If one copy text from windows (via ctrl-c) and want to paste it into an xming/x2go-Linux-Application one could have a problem: one usual way windows users act is the following:
1.) select text in windows-app
2.) copy it to clipboard via ctrl-c
3.) select some text in the other (in our case x2go/xming-linux) app which one would like to be replaced (think of the location bar in Firefox)
4.) press ctrl-v to paste the clipboards content
Using xming/x2go step 3.) causes a problem. The selected text is copied into x-select buffer and replaces the clipboard content. In step 4.) this content is pasted, not the expected content from step 1.). From the users point of view copy & paste simply doesn't work.
I haven't fully understand how clipboard and x-selection buffers are working and if they are correctly supported by xming. I think xming is causing this behavior by copying windows-clipboard content to CLIPBOARD and PRIMARY.
Besides this as a workaround, is there a way to disable the x-selection buffer completely?
Best regards,
Christoph Oelmüller
