urxvt does not perform a selection request for primary to the X server if it owns it. Given that the issue occurs both when you request the primary selection in urxvt itself and in a different program, the problem might be in the libc, since the common part in the two cases is the conversion of the selection from wide char encoding, assuming that in the second case the selection is requested in COMPOUND_TEXT format. Which system and urxvt version do you use? Try installing xclip and posting the output of the following commands after creating the selection: xclip -o -t UTF8_STRING | hexdump -C xclip -o -t COMPOUND_TEXT | hexdump -C Emanuele _______________________________________________ rxvt-unicode mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schmorp.de/mailman/listinfo/rxvt-unicode
