First, ^C to copy no longer works at all in RetroOffice.
So I think you're going to have to disable the CLIPBOARD->Pasteboard option in the X11 pasteboard preferences. It seems like you have some complicated clipboard data that we're just not cacheing in xpbproxy. That should atleast get you back to your expected behavior... but you won't be able to paste into OSX applications the data that you copied with ctrl-c. You can only paste what you copy with cmd-c into OSX apps.
This isn't "the fix" but it should be a workaround for you for the time being.
Not being certain which one you meant, I tried unchecking the second and the third options in the preferences in turn and both together. None of these got back copying using ^C or ^X in RetroOffice. ^V still only pastes what was copied with cmd-C. Or do I have to restart X11 to get the preferences to take effect? [it's late here, I'm turning in, will check back tomorrow]
Disable the "Update Pasteboard when CLIPBOARD changes" and "Update CLIPBOARD when Pasteboard changes". If you disable both of those, then xpbproxy should be doing nothing at all with CLIPBOARD and you should have your CLIPBOARD back.
Thanks, yes, unchecking both of these, closing X11, logging out and in again (for good measure) and I have sane cut'n'paste back within RetroOffice. I can live with cmd-C to move stuff to OSX from X, I have to do that to get reliable copying from xerms anyway (you mentioned the reason in another thread). -- Viv ________________________________________________ Dr Viv Kendon http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv tel: +44 113 343 4864 Physics and Astronomy Quantum Information Group University of Leeds
