odd cut-n-paste issue
All of a sudden I cannot cut and paste from my terminal (aterm, xterm, rxvt) to this window. Pretty inconvenient when posting problems to this forum. I was responding to a thread a minute ago and I pasted output of dmesg, which I cut and pasted from aterm to LQ. Later in the thread, I could not. I can cut and paste from anywhere else to here, and from the terminal to the terminal, but no more.
I've rebooted and it's still the same.

Did you try :
- select text with the left button
- middle-click in another text input

I'm not sure what you mean by:
- middle-click in another text input
I highlight with the left button and Ctrl^c to copy, or try to right click to select text (the latter doesn't work). To insert, shift+insert, also tried Ctrl^v. One of these combinations worked worked until recently.

hey
i also thought i was having issues but with linux you can highlight the text with your left button (some kind of autocopy function?), then paste the text into the required field by clicking your middle mouse button (scroll wheel). it took me a long time to figure that one out as well, not sure why now that i look back on it

Thanks, slackinblack and Cedrik. I finally got what you are saying with the middle button, and it works great. I never knew that.
