Perhaps. It's that sort of feedback that I was hoping to get to see if it affected anyone else. Funny thing is that it is specific to Evo. If I do the same in any other app it works okay, so I actually doubt it's an Xfce thing?? > Do you have a 3rd mouse button? try selecting the text and using the > 3rd mouse button to paste No, that doesn't work either in the circumstance I mean (simulated 3rd button works okay in all other apps and CLI). Perhaps I should be more specific about where the problem occurs: If I highlight and/or copy text from an email in preview window or from an opened email window it can be pasted anywhere else with either (simulated) 3rd-button click and/or GUI pasting methods with ctl+v or edit+paste. If I shut that open email _before_ I try _any_ paste method the chosen text is lost and there is nothing to paste - into any other app. or even another email window :-( To check whether it was an Xfce thing, I did the same test with a browser window. For example, copying some text from a web page, then shutting that web page before trying to paste into any other app saw that test pasted correctly. To me that suggests an Evo-only problem is confirmed. Gavin. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
