In case someone uses VNC to access Linux from Windows, and has installed Mozilla on the Linux machine (preferably version 1.4.2, but maybe the same effect occurs with other Mozilla versions too), could you please verify the following odd behaviour?
In Mozilla, mark some text, select "Copy" from the context menu. Then go to Windows and paste it to some application, such as Notepad. This should work as expected. Then go back to Mozilla, mark some other text, select "Copy". When I paste this new text into Windows, I get the first, old text, pasted (i.e. VNC did not update the Windows clipboard). Note that I can paste the text from Mozilla to, say, a xterm within the VNC session. This means that the text was indeed copied into the X Clipboard, but VNC failed to sync it with the Windows clipboard. To reproduce the behaviour, it is important to copy to the clipboard both times from Mozilla. In contrast, the following would NOT show the erroneous behaviour: 1. Copy some text A from Mozilla, paste into Windows Notepad 2. Copy some other text B from xterm (or Konqueror, or Nedit,...), and paste into Windows Notepad. 3. Copy aome more text from Mozilla, and paste into Notepad In this case, Notepad would receive all three texts (ABC) as it should be. But if you leave out step 2, Notepad would not contain the texts AB, but instead AA.
