Hi,

I just want to confirm this as a bug before I report it in Mantis. I
develop my software under Linux and Windows. Linux being my primary OS, and
Windows running in a VirtualBox (v3.2.6) session.

If I am in Linux and copy code to the clipboard from within the IDE editor
window, I can paste it to a Gnome application without problems (I'm using
Ubuntu 10.04). But if I try and copy to the Lazarus IDE running inside the
Win2k VirtualBox session, no copy occurs. In fact, I can't copy to any
windows application, even Notepad. No text editor in Windows show that
there is data in the clipboard.

The work-around, is that under Linux, I must first paste the copied code
into gEdit (default Gnome editor), then select the code again in gEdit and
click Copy again. Then only can I paste in into any windows application
running inside the VirtualBox session.

So it seems the Copy from within the IDE is different to the Copy from
gEdit, or any other Gnome application on my system. It's just Lazarus IDE's
copy that can't paste to the VirtualBox windows session. I tried many Gnome
applications (gEdit, Terminal, Thunderbird, etc) and their copy command
works, and they all paste successfully into the Windows VirtualBox session.

I'm using FPC 2.4.3 and Lazarus 0.9.29 (from trunk dated 2010-10-18).
Lazarus IDE is compiled for the LCL-GTK2 widgetset.

Regards,
  - Graeme -
