The attached path is an attempt to fix: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug?id=1704 Which is a bug where you can't copy text including CR characters (a DOS text file, say), between text widgets. The bug came from some bad behavior in the X library, and, unfortunately for my ability to test this patch, the problem was fixed in XFree86 recently. So, if you are running an XFree86 release older than 4.0.2, and would like to: - Try copying text from a DOS-line-terminated file from one GtkText widget to another to see if you can reproduce the bug. - If so, try applying this patch to GTK+ (the stable gtk-1-2 branch, or 1.2.9pre1), and see if it fixes the problem. I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Owen
