[Xquartz-dev] copy/paste with "about X11" window open...

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.
