#52078: iTerm2 @3.0.5_0: pasting with the mouse between tabs does not work (anymore) --------------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: graziosi.angelo@… | Owner: emer@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: iTerm2 | --------------------------------+-------------------- Comment (by graziosi.angelo@…): But this version of iTerm2 seems very bad. Also when one copy/paste in the same tab has problems. Suppose you have iTerm2 with only one tab/window. Double click on a word of displayed text. Now press mouse wheel to paste. It pastes. If you now just press left mouse button (sometime, this is a random user action) and then you want to re-paste your first selection, it does not paste anymore. You have to re-double click your selection... But this is not the only issue of this version. Often I have to restart iTerm2 (to see, foe example, if changes in bashrc etc. have effect), so first I close all tabs (CMD-W) and then quit iTerm2 (CMD-Q). When I restart it, more windows open with warning that one session closed.. and OSX sends a notification about sessions.. I find this very confusing.. and I haven't a simple recipe to reproduce the issue. It happens often but apparently at random.. This version should be retired. Is there a way to reinstall previous version 2? TIA, Angelo. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52078#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
#52078: iTerm2 @3.0.5_0: pasting with the mouse between tabs does not work (anymore) --------------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: graziosi.angelo@… | Owner: emer@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: iTerm2 | --------------------------------+-------------------- Comment (by graziosi.angelo@…): Ok. I did the following trick/workaround to get things working as before. As I wrote, the issue came out only after I reinstalled from scratch 10.11.6 and so MacPorts. Before, when I upgraded from iTerm2-2.1 to iTerm2-3.0.5, the issue was absent. So I reinstalled 2.1 from iTerm2 web site. More precisely (after closing all iTerm2 and from Terminal.app), {{{ wget https://iterm2.com/downloads/beta/iTerm2-2_1.zip sudo mv /Applications/MacPorts/iTerm2.app /Applications/MacPorts/iTerm2.app-3.0.5 sudo bsdtar -xvof iTerm2-2_1.zip -C /Applications/MacPorts/ sudo mv /Applications/MacPorts/iTerm.app /Applications/MacPorts/iTerm2.app }}} Starting iTerm2, now, still has the issue.. I did some clean up: {{{ find . -name "*term2*" find . -name "*term2*" -delete find . -name "*erm2*" find . -name "*Term*" rm -rf Library/Application\ Support/iTerm rm -rf Library/Application\ Support/iTerm2 }}} Now restarted iTerm2 and did some configuration (see my OP). Now copy/paste seem to work as expected. So, close iTerm2 and from Termnal.app: {{{ cd /Applications/MacPorts sudo mv iTerm2.app iTerm2.app-2.1 sudo mv iTerm2.app-3.0.5 iTerm2.app [sudo rm -rf iTerm2.app-2.1] }}} (where the last step is optional). Now all seem to work fine. As you see, the issue seems a configuration problem. Maybe someone can clarify this.

In short, from Terminal.app: {{{ find . -name "*term2*" find . -name "*term2*" -delete find . -name "*term2*" }}} if there are folder regarding iterm2, delete them, then {{{ find . -name "*erm2*" rm -rf Library/Application\ Support/iTerm2 }}} and {{{ find . -name "*Term*" rm -rf Library/Application\ Support/iTerm }}} After the cleaning, reboot. Now start iTerm2 3.X: as long as text remains selected it pastes but just clicking in an empty space so the selection goes away it does not paste any more... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52078#comment:4> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS
