------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Apr 13 01:43:24 -0700 2005 ------- Verified still broken in 1.9.91, but good news. After extensive searching on the internet I have come to understand the problem. It is a problem run into by a great number of users, but is not specific to openoffice. Specifically is has to do with the old cut-buffer system and the newer selection buffer system. A very thorough discussion of this issue can be read at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2003-August/002167.html >From what I can tell openoffice 1.1.x implements the "all-ways works" method, while openoffice 2.0.x implements only the newer selection method. Thus you end up unable to paste into 2.0.x from older cut-buffer only applications, which includes nearly every ASCII terminal program. A mostly works workaround is available via a program called 'autocutsel' which will transfer selections between the two selection systems. This reduces overall functionality slightly, as described in the discussion referred to above, but allows one to almost obtain the behavior as it exists in 1.1.x. That behavior being the highlight left button drag for cut, and middle mouse for paste. In fact with autocutsel you get highlight left button drag for cut in your terminal application, however, middle button paste still does not work in openoffice 2.0. While autocutsel does transfer the selection in the terminal window from the cut-buffer to the clipboard selection buffer, openoffice 2.0 does not respond to middle button click. Instead you have to use Edit-Paste or Ctrl-V. A mildly acceptable solution for me. However, I'm not sure it is a good general solution. Many unix/linux types are used to the left button drag = cut / center button = paste paradigm. As mentioned above oo 1.1.x implements and "all-ways works" solution, while oo 2.0.x does not. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
