Hello Emanuele,

I normally use urxvt 9.16 (obs://build.opensuse.org/utilities) and 9.15
(standard OpenSuSE 12.3). But I also tried it with urxvt 9.19. The same
happens with this version.

Thanks,

Michael

The answer is this:

Maybe. Could still be a bug in TigerVNC.


Scratch that. It's a bug in uxrvt. It blindly asks for the clipboard
type UTF8_STRING, even though VNC does not support it. VNC only
supports the type STRING, which is also the only format it lists when
queried about supported formats.

Now we are a bit stuck... How can we proceed to solve the issue?

That comment is not really accurate. Urxvt requests the selection in
UTF8_STRING format first. If the conversion fails, it fallbacks to
COMPOUND_TEXT format and if also the second conversion fails it
fallbacks to STRING format. There might be a bug though. Which urxvt
version do you use?

Emanuele
