The window manager is twm. The problem is not the window manager, I think. If I kill twm, and type _mwm_ to the shell prompt in the current window, then the reaction is $ mwm The program 'mwm' can be found in the following packages: * lesstif-bin * motif-clients Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package> and nothing happens until I touch the mouse (or some key such as Shift on the keyboard). It looks like a synchronization problem on some event queue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775967 Title: mouse pasted text not shown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xterm/+bug/775967/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
