I'm not sure this counts as a bug or an oddity. Open the "about X11" window, and highlight the release info (to paste into an email for example, as below) and use cmd-C to copy it. Now try to highlight and copy something else in another X11 window (perhaps you are on another space and don't even remember you still have that "about X11" window open). It still pastes (cmd-V) the "about X11" info into the Aqua window. Closing the "about X11" window restores normal copy-paste behaviour. This is with XQuartz 2.3.3.2 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple42). The other X11 windows I was using were xterms, and the Aqua paste location was the Firefox bar to open a URL. -- Viv ________________________________________________ Dr Viv Kendon http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv tel: +44 113 343 4864 Physics and Astronomy Quantum Information Group University of Leeds

Yeah, I suppose this is a bug... but it's not one that I'm particular concerned about. Fixing it would require quite a bit of hackery on top of the amalgamation of hackery that we are already doing for copy/ paste ... still... interesting that you were able to notice it ;)
