But that's not really comfortable or seamless... > Re versions of nxagent: So you did an update from 3.5.99.24 to 3.5.99.26.

Ok, here's the branch you should compile: https://github.com/uli42/nx-libs/tree/pr/many_clipboard_fixes Generally you need to do this: 1. git clone https://github.com/uli42/nx-libs/tree/pr/many_clipboard_fixes 2. cd nx-libs 3. mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{SOURCES,RPMS,SRPMS,OTHER,BUILD} 4. git archive -o ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/nx-libs-3.5.99.26.tar.gz --prefix=nx-libs-3.5.99.26/ 3.6.x 5. cp --preserve=time nx-libs.spec ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES 6. rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/nx-libs.spec 7. install the resulting nxagent rpm I do not have a fedora at hand so I could not test this. In case of problems you can also try the spec file from the fedora build. > I did just note two additional behaviors- > > 1. cross-session paste does *eventually* complete > > -copy of text 1 in session 1 > -attempt to paste in session 2 > -observe session 2 window freeze > -switch to host window > -paste into host window (success) > -select and recopy in host window > -switch back to session 2- paste of text 1 had completed > > So the paste took about 5 seconds My branch adds some caching of clipboard communication which speeds up operations like this considerably. > 2. cross-session paste payload can be replaced in flight > > -copy of text 1 in session 1 > -switch to session 2 > -attempt to paste (text 1 into session 2) > -observe session 2 window freeze > -switch to another window in session 2 > -select and copy text 2 (in another window in session 2) > -switch to the session 2 window attempting to complete the original paste > -note that the paste completed- but using text 2, not text 1 That's one of the big changes in my branch. Previously the code was sharing some variables for all clipboards and the behaviour you are describing here is just the result of that.
