I rely heavily on dual monitors with many terminal windows and workspaces. For many years (since SunOS4 I
think) I've configured dual monitors as independent screens (i.e., :0.0 and 0:1). From within a terminal on
one screen I could open a new terminal displayed on the other screen, and cut&paste worked seamlessly across
any terminals. Since I moved from Centos6 to Centos7, this seems to be a real challenge.
With the latest Centos7 and gnome-terminal, cut&paste works fine amongst gnome-terminals on the same screen.
However, it does not work at all amongst gnome-terminals on separate screens.
I noticed this does not apply to some other apps I tried. For instance, cut&paste works fine across screens
for firefox and openoffice. Cut&paste FROM other apps into a gnome-terminal on a different screen also works,
while cut&paste TO other apps from a gnome-terminal does not.
I installed xterm and it seems to work fine, but I'm hoping to avoid going back to it.
I think this is related to gnome-terminal as opposed to my graphics driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-352.63) or
window manager (XFCE4).
Have any other dual screen users experienced this issue?
Thanks
