Package: rxvt
Version: 1:2.6.4-6
Severity: normal
Hi.
I have found a very weird pasting problem. I looked at the different
man pages and FAQs, and didn't see an explanation, so I am taking it
as a bug.
If I copy, using the mouse buffer, a word containing accents, say
"épée", and paste it into the _same_ rxvt, the word will be pasted
fine: "épée".
However, if I paste it into a _different_ rxvt, the 8-bit characters
are dropped: "pe".
An ltrace comparison follows. The intra-rxvt operation is:
select(5, 0xbffffa0c, 0, 0, 0) = 1

A few additional notes:
- copying from an rxvt to an xterm or from an xterm to an rxvt works.
- copying from Mozilla to rxvt works.
