Mailing list traffic is not very high. BTW, could you please use external slang? There are messages about another problem: ____________________________________________ Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2002 10:21:18 +0100 From: Stanislav Brabec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: terminal clipboard inside mc editor and viewer doesn't save EOLs (included SLang bug) To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GNU Midnight Commander 4.5.99a This bug occurs only with included slang, with slang-1.4.4 it is OK: I like using terminal clipboard between mc editor or viewer and other apps. But with included slang copying from mc doesn't save EOLs, instead it inserts lots of spaces. Example: Using gnome-terminal and Shift-left-mouse, I am able to copy any text from MC view and paste it to any other application. Included slang doesn't save EOLs in text, so clipboard is unusable for multi-line texts. Recompiling mc with slang-1.4.4 completelly resolves the problem. ____________________________________________ Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2002 02:57:37 -0500 (EST) From: Pavel Roskin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: terminal clipboard inside mc editor and viewer doesn't save EOLs (included SLang bug) To: Stanislav Brabec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, Stanislav! > But with included slang copying from mc doesn't save EOLs, instead it > inserts lots of spaces. Thank you for this observation! I don't think that the included slang library should be updated. It is known to be portable. Besides, it's quite small and in the same time handy if you don't have slang installed. Unless you have a specific fix, I'm not going to fix it. But it may be worth mentioning in the documentation. Also the rpm specfile should be changed to use the external slang. The bugs with the external slang have been fixed long ago. ____________________________________________ Because of this bug mc rpm is almost unusable for me.
