Hi
I have some problems with the different versions of xwinclip.
o xwinclip-Test05:
Marking and pasting works in both directions from Windows to X and
vice versa.
But when marking in an X window the marked area disapppears as
soon as I release the left mouse button, but at least it's copied
to the clipboard.
Now my problem: In the cygwin X-version of XEmacs 21.4 (patch 6)
I do not get active regions anymore because of this feature. So
all the region commands do not work anymore rendering Xemacs almost
useless.
When killing xwinclip the active regions work again but of course now
I can only copy between X windows.
o xwinclip-Test06:
The first difference I see when using the latest version of xwinclip
is the marked regions in X windows stay marked after releasing the
left mouse button !!
So this fixes the xemacs active region behaviour.
But now xwinclip works only in one direction and it also depends
from where you start marking regions.
This is what I found:
When I start marking regions in a Windows window (Ww) I can paste it
in an X window (Xw).
But as soon as I mark a region in an Xw the clipboard contents
which gets pasted in the Ww is the last text I marked in the Ww.
It looks like from that point on there are now two independent clipboards
one for Windows and on for Xfree.
Any hints or at least can somebody confirm my findings ?
Ciao

By the way the new rootless mode works great. I'm using the latest 4.2.0-15
