interesting. For other reason, I installed the latest mozilla, firefox and opera last night. In all three browsers, I can copy/paste the webpage into an stdin of cat(1) via an xterm. I suppose that this is dependent on KDE or Xwindows In all three browsers, the quote marks appear atypical. And the 'problematic' copy/paste behavior persists. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
