--- Begin Message ---Package: xterm Version: 333-1 Severity: normal I was working on my .Xresources and found this quite crazy. I could not select PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD independent of each other. To reproduce, I chose to have *only* the lines from the manual page… *VT100*translations: #override \n\ ~Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\ Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\ ~Shift <BtnUp> : select-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\ Shift <BtnUp> : select-end(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) … loaded with “xrdb -merge filename”, with no .Xresources at all, then I started two xterms, in one I selected, in another, I ran xsel commands to discern what is the content of PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD, respectively. tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>" P<> C<> tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>" P<foo> C<> tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>" P<bar> C<bar> tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>" P<foo> C<foo> After the first command I selected “foo” without Shift. ⇒ as expected, PRIMARY gets assigned “foo”, CLIPBOARD is left alone After the second command I selected “bar” with Shift. ⇒ unexpectedly, PRIMARY *also* gets “bar” in addition to CLIPBOARD After the third line, I selected “foo” without Shift again. ⇒ unexpectedly, CLIPBOARD *also* gets “foo” in addition to PRIMARY For comparison, here’s the same sequence of things on MirBSD, with xterm 200 on XFree86: tg@blau:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>" P<> C<> tg@blau:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>" P<foo> C<> tg@blau:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>" P<bar> C<bar> tg@blau:~ $ echo "P<$(xsel -p -o)> C<$(xsel -b -o)>" P<foo> C<> For that, I used this in .Xresources though: *VT100*translations: #override \n\ Shift~Ctrl<KeyPress>Insert:insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\ Shift Ctrl<KeyPress>Insert:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\ ~Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>:insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\ Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\ ~Shift<BtnUp>:select-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\ Shift<BtnUp>:select-end(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) (Actually, do I need a trailing \n or \n\ after the last line?) Here, selecting “foo” without Shift again *clears* CLIPBOARD instead of assigning to it. Still buggy. I was considering not using cut buffers in xterm 333 on X.org: *VT100*translations: #override \n\ Shift~Ctrl<KeyPress>Insert:insert-selection(PRIMARY) \n\ Shift Ctrl<KeyPress>Insert:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\ ~Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>:insert-selection(PRIMARY) \n\ Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\ ~Shift<BtnUp>:select-end(PRIMARY) \n\ Shift<BtnUp>:select-end(CLIPBOARD) \n\ Anyway, from the above tests I concur that this never worked as documented and still does not work as documented. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.27-3 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.0-5 ii libfreetype6 2.8.1-2 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-2 ii libtinfo6 6.1+20180210-3 ii libutempter0 1.1.6-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.5-1 ii libxaw7 2:1.0.13-1+b2 ii libxft2 2.3.2-2 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1+b3 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.2-2 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.12-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii xbitmaps 1.1.1-2 Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii x11-utils 7.7+4 Versions of packages xterm suggests: pn xfonts-cyrillic <none> -- no debconf information
