I think one of the regular Linux users might be better placed to answer, as this relates to UX issues. Internally, Pharo uses Unicode. UTF8 is one of a list of possible encodings (and the most used one for non ASCII). What happens when you paste from the system clipboard to Pharo is some kind of import, propably with conversions going on. This necessarily depends on the VM and OS. On Mac OS X this seems to 'just work' as expected. In your case is seems to fail. Anyone better placed to help Jon ? Sven
