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.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 5900 error_code 8 request_code 114 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.
I searched on Google but there is nothing that matches this 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
