>I'd really appreciate some feedback on the new fix in >XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-63, which should be hitting mirrors within a few hours. Yes, I can reproduce the hang with 4.3.0-50 (actually, I used xemacs not xterm) but it does not hang in 4.3.0-63. After I drop the X selection it is no longer in the Windows clipboard, so that I cannot paste into Notepad. I don't know if this is consistent with cut and paste on a native X desktop, but it is a massive improvement over hanging. Thanks! -- Ed Avis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
