Package: emacs20
Version: 20.7-10.1
Severity: normal
This is something that has bothered me a long time before I finally decided
to file a report, so I am quite sure there is a problem, though I don't
really know if it is in emacs or some other piece of the puzzle.
Sometimes when I select a piece of text in another program (xterm or tkman
or mozilla are examples, but it seems it can happen with any program) I am
unable to paste the selection into emacs. Instead, doing the "yank"
command in emacs always pastes emacs' last "kill". When I do
"Alt-: (x-get-selection-internal 'PRIMARY 'STRING)" the result is also
emacs' last kill, even though I just selected something in xterm a second
before that. And once this happens, is seems impossible to get the right
behavior in that session of emacs - the only way to set it right is to
quit emacs and restart it.
It is far from consistent - it happens to me maybe once a week, and I am
an emacs zealot, meaning I do almost everything with it. But when it
happens it is annoying to no end.
