I'm seeing some weird, new behavior with rxvt under cygwin-1.5.0-1 related to copy/paste and its interaction with the Windows clipboard. All of the weirdness described below goes away when I revert to 1.3.22. I'm running under Win2k Pro SP4. It seems that if I startup rxvt directly from Windows (Run box or cmd.exe shell), that rxvt works fine wrt copy/paste. But, if I start bash or ash first, and then start rxvt from there, the rxvt copy/paste does not interact with the Windows clipboard at all. Also, it seems that two rxvt windows start from the same bash/ash process can copy/paste between one another, but not if they are started from a different bash/ash process. Here's an example. From a DOS box, run rxvt -e /bin/sh That rxvt works fine for copying and pasting. (I tried copy/paste to/from Notepad.) Now, from a DOS box, run sh or bash --norc --noprofile and then from the shell prompt, start two copies of rxvt: rxvt -e /bin/sh & rxvt -e /bin/sh & Neither of those rxvt windows will copy/paste to the Windows clipboard. But, they will copy/paste between one another. Now, from one of those rxvt windows, start another two rxvt windows: rxvt -e /bin/sh & rxvt -e /bin/sh & Neither of those two new windows can copy/paste with Windows clipboard or with the previously started two windows, but they can copy/paste between one another. One other observation. If I start rxvt directly from a DOS box, and then start additional rxvt windows from the first rxvt window, all windows can copy/paste with the Windows clipboard and between one another. David
