Putty crashes when selecting text to copy
Hi guys
I've had this happening for a few months now and it's becoming very annoying. I use putty on a daily basis and it all works fine, but if I want to copy and paste some text into an email I start the selection (click and drag the mouse) but as soon as I complete the selection (letting the mouse button up) putty simply crashes completely. There is no on screen error - the application has gone from the list of running apps. So, I started putty from a terminal window and tried the same exercise, this time I got an error back in the terminal window, as follows: Code:
The program 'putty' received an X Window System error. I haven't done any strange configuration for putty - it's all out-of-the-box stuff. I'm on Debian Squeeze 6.0.3 Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 Gnome 2.30.2 Putty : Development Snapshot 2010-02-20 Cheers Murray |

I just tried running putty with the --sync option (sorry, I should have tried that earlier), anyways it worked fine and I was able to copy text without any problem. I then went back to putty without the --sync option and it also worked as normal. I don't think I'm at the bottom of this problem yet... not it appears to be intermittent. Next time it happens I will try with the --sync option from the command line and see what error I get. Cheers Murray |
And again with the putty --sync a similar error:

I've just restarted the computer and it's happening. The really funny thing is that I was Googling for this problem of putty crashing and found this error reported, reading through thinking, yes yes yes - that's exactly what is happening to me, and then I was weirdly surprised to see it was my bug report from nearly 3 years ago.

As DucQuoc pointed out
Code:
Putty : Development Snapshot 2010-02-20 1. obsolete 2. NOT a prod version. If you upgrade to current PROD version of Putty, you likely won't get that problem. |
